Hindi ko ku-kunsitinhin ang ganyan!
By: Central Luzon News Center | Nelson Bolos

Thus, said Mayor Andy Lacson to the family of Rodney Antonio who was beaten black and blue by his neighbor PO1 Marc Bucu inside their house at Barangay Alfonso around midnight September 14, 2017.

Antonio said Bucu was in civilian clothes and “very drunk when he brutality assaulted” him.
Showing his wounds on his head and bruises on his body, Antonio said, “wala naman po akong kasalanan ng bigla na lang siyang (Bucu) dumating at sinira niya ang aming pinto at ang pinto ng kuwarto ko. Pinagpapalo po niya ako ng kanyang baril at pinagsusuntok at pinagtatadyakan niya ako”.

The 30-year old Antonio was accompanied by his mother and some members of his family when they sought Lacson’s help at the municipal hall.

Antonio also said in front of police chief PSupt Mike Guzman that he was alone then at their house when Bucu arrived “very drunk”.

“Lasing na lasing po siya at pinaggigiba niya ang aming mga pinto. Pati po ceiling fan ko sa aking kuwarto sinira niya”, also said Bucu.

Antonio showed at least 4 wounds on his head and several bruises in his body mostly on his back.
During the meeting Lacson said, “HIndiko ku-kunsintihin ang mga ganyang pulis. Dapat mapatawan siya ng disciplinary action. The police should ensure that the people are safe. They are the protector of the people, they have no right to hurt any person”.

Buco and Antonio reside at the same Purok in their barangay and have known each other for a long time.

The visibly frightened victim revealed that Bucu’s anger must have been related to an altercation the between Bucu’s relatives and their other neighbors who run towards Antonio’s house night before.
“Akala niya siguro kasama ako sa mga nagkagulo noong isang gabi”, added Antonio.

During the meeting at the mayor’s office, an aunt of Antonio who requested her name withheld said, “Kasarap sana na may kapitbahay kang pulis na po-protekta sa inyo, pero sa nangyari takot na kami sa mga pulis”.

“Isipin niyo na lang, giniba niya ang pinto sa harapan at pinasok niya pa ang aking pamangkin sa kanyang kuwarto at pinagpapalo niya pa ng baril. Buti na lang nakatakbo pa si Rodney papunta sa amin”, added the aunt who lives in front of Antonio’s house.
Right after the meeting, Guzman summoned Buco to face Antonio and his family.

“We will not allow Tarlac to be haven of any criminal.”
By: Central Luzon News Center | Nelson Bolos

Thus, said PSSupt Ritchie Medardo Posadas as he disclosed the capture on June 2, 2017 of former policeman PO1 Aris Amposta, leader of the “notorious” Amposta robbery-drug group, in his hide-out in the hinterland Dapdap Resettlement, Barangay Lourdes, Bamban town.

Posadas, the Tarlac police provincial director, said Amposta was apprehended in a " isolated mountainous community" based on a warrant of arrest issued by an Angeles City court for Robbery with Violence and Intimidation Against Person.

Amposta went into hiding since the warrant for his arrest was issued by Judge Eda Dizon-Herna of the Angeles City Regional Trial Court Branch 80 in September 21, 2015.

Posadas revealed the Amposta group were involved in a series of robbery, extortion and motornapping cases in Angeles City and other parts of Pampanga including distribution of illegal drugs in Pampanga and Tarlac.

Apparently, the robbery case was filed by a businessman from Angeles City against the 33 years old Amposta, along with another cop-on-AWOL ex-PO1 Roberto Bautista and 2 civilians, Jay-R Nasam Alias Buboy and Elmer “Boyong” Nasam alias Bagalawis.

(Bautista and Jay-AR are still at large while Elmer was recently killed by unidentified gun men in Angeles City.)
.
Their victim was said to have been held up at gunpoint and robbed of his cash and valuables by Amposta and his group.

Posadas also disclosed, Amposta and his cohorts are also the subject of 2 other warrants of arrest – another Robbery with Violence and/or Intimidation against Person case (January 19, 2016) and for Torture (Republic Act 9745 - Anti-Torture Act of 2009).

Amposta belongs to Philippine National Police Recruit batch 2007-2 and was last assigned with the Angeles City Public Safety Company (ACPSC).

He was dismissed from the PNP roll in January 2015. Two of the charges against him were filed during his active duty with the ACPSC.

“The capture of Amposta is the result of the trust and confidence we have established among the people and of our strengthened intelligence system. We are very determined to improve our capability to better serve the people and we will not allow the province (Tarlac) to be haven of any criminal”, said Posadas.

Since Posadas assumed as police provincial director last February, Posadas is credited for making the Tarlac Police Provincial Office (TTPO) the “2nd Best police command in Central Luzon” after being adjudged as second to the least performing provincial office in Region 3.

The capture of Amposta was led by PCInsp Jovy Arceo, chief of police of Bamban.
Posadas also revealed that several pieces of “chop-chop” motorcycle parts and tools for tampering motor and chassis numbers of motorcycles were seized at Amposta’s hide-out intoning that Amposta may also be involved in motornapping.

“There’s reason to celebrate, from No. 8 we are now No. 2.”
By: Central Luzon News Center | Nelson Bolos

Thus said, PSSupt Ritchie Medardo Posadas as he revealed the result of the latest performance evaluation of the 9-unit police commands in Central Luzon which have the Tarlac Police Provincial Office (TPPO) in the 2nd top slot.

The Philippine National Police Regional Office 3 (PRO 3) is composed of the provinces of Bulacan, Pampanga, Nueva Ecija, Bataan, Aurora, Zambales and Tarlac and police commands of Angeles City and Olongapo City.

“When I assumed office (Tarlac police provincial director) last February, TPPO was No. 8. Our determined efforts to improve our performance and our services to the people paid-off. We are now 2nd Best”, said Posadas.

Posadas replaced former provincial director PSSupt Westrimundo Obinque last February who was sacked by PRO3 Director PCSupt Aaron Aquino for “under performance”.

Tarlac police recently hugged the national news over the series of “commendable accomplishments” including the separate entrapment operation against 2 barangay kagawads in Concepcion who were both arrested selling shabu and the killing in a “bungled buy bust” of a Manila-based supplier of illegal drugs also in the town of Concepcion.

Concepcion Police is headed by PSupt Luis Ventura Jr.

Also the arrest recently of the so-called “Shabu Queen” in Moncada town under PCInsp Palmyra Guardaya made the national newspapers and “trended” in online news.

The evaluation performance rating was Bataan – 52.48 points, Tarlac – 51.69, Zambales -50.92, Nueva Ecija - 37.59, Bulacan – 30.81, Angeles City - 28.29, Olongapo City - 26.22, Pampanga - 26.13 and Aurora - 25.27.

“The difference (with Bataan) is only 0.79 points and your TPPO has no way to go but up”, said Posadas who used to head the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group in Region 7.

The TPPO has long maintained its “prestige” in PRO 3 for having been headed by former PNP Chief retired PDG Nicanor Bartolome, former DILG Under Secretary Alex Sintin and former PRO 3 Director retired PCSupt Rudy Lacadin.
