following the arrest of a policeman at an illegal cock fight in Cebu province
in central Philippines.

“Just as
the Philippine National Police is quick to recognize and reward our personnel
for their outstanding performance, we are equally swift and decisive in going after erring cops. This should therefore serve as a warning to PNP personnel who refuse to toe the line.”
for their outstanding performance, we are equally swift and decisive in going after erring cops. This should therefore serve as a warning to PNP personnel who refuse to toe the line.”
“I am both
an officer of the law and an officer of the courts. Rest assured that I will
file cases against you and hold you accountable for your criminal acts,” Gamboa
said.
Members of
the Police Integrity Monitoring and Enforcement Group (IMEG) arrested Staff
Sergeant Charlito Sanchez Tinoy who is assigned at Regional Personnel Holding
Accounting Section while manning and betting in the illegal game in the village
of Sudlon in Lahug.
Tinoy was
previously arrested and charged with illegal gambling, according to Brigadier
General Ronald Lee, the IMEG chief, adding, the arrest of the erring cop is in
line with their stepped-up enforcement of the PNP internal cleansing program ordered
by Gamboa.
“Were
intensifying our monitoring of policemen involved in all forms of illegal
activities and assure the public that we will apprehend them as soon as we have
built enough evidence against them.”
“We must
make it clear that General Gamboa has a strict zero tolerance policy against
police officers who continue to tarnish the good reputation and image of
majority of the police force,” Lee said.
Tinoy was
among the 4 people arrested by the police on June 21 during the illegal cock
fighting amid the Covid-19 pandemic. The three were all civilians - Jojo Ombos Mainit, Frederick Jacalan Vosotros,
and Lando Sabanal Calumba. (Mindanao Examiner)
