Kapalpakan of cops BWD, Piltel and DTI

BULL’S HIT
Rudy Garcia

I wonder why these policemen who should implement laws are themselves going against their colleagues who fail to implement the same. Take this case at those videoke bars at Kayang and Hilltop who should be stopping operation of these liquor dens at exactly 9 p.m.

Some policemen came to us complaining why their fellow cops at Compac 1 are not enforcing strictly the said curfew hour and that what they would like to happen is for us to call the attention of their police chief Supt. Roberto Soriano.

Holy cow! I thought there are many of these kinds only in the field of politics I didn’t know there are also characters like these in the police force. At any rate, I would like to call the attention of BCPO chief Soriano to please check the said report of these liquor establishments at Kayang and Hilltop who operate exceeding much their allowed operating hours. Many incidents of streets brawls started from these establishments. Sampolan mo sila hepe!

Right after I wrote in this column about those pickpockets and snatchers who do their illegal trade at Zandueta St. and Hilltop, Soriano ordered an all-out operation on the said areas and he himself personally supervised his men in going after these mandurukots and isnatsers. I am now starting to believe that the good chief means business, thus he deserves my two hands salute. Kudos sa iyo hepe!

A female friend at Baguio City hall canteen complained to us regarding the kapalpakan of the Baguio Water District. According to her, they did not receive any bill from BWD for almost three months and when they received it recently, they were surprised they had to pay the whooping amount of P6,000 on that day, otherwise their water service would be cut off.

They went to BWD office to complain but they were instead told to pay at least P4,000 to avoid disconnection. Of course P4,000 is not a small amount to produce in an instance, so the family of the lady had no other choice but to suffer the effects of no water because their meter was disconnected.

Perhaps this government water agency overlooked the bills and didn’t send these to the lady on a monthly basis. The question is why they did not entertain or consider the complaint of the lady. Well, maybe they need cash for their good services, even if it means having their clients suffer for their ineptitude. Maawa naman kayo. Another office being complained about to us is the Philippine Telephone Company in Baguio by an old woman who claimed she was made a stupid. Baguio. Accordingly she went to Piltel to inform them that her smart land phone is not working for weeks but she was told that it was already cut off for a long time, much to her surprise, since she has no obligation nor unpaid bills from the said company considering she did not receive any notice that her telephone would be cut off.

We have been receiving the same complaints from the past and I wonder why this kind of inefficiency is not corrected. Ano ba naman kayo diyan sa Piltel-Baguio? Can you not do public service better? Mahiya naman kayo! If it is true that this lady employee of the Department of Trade and Industry in Baguio City used her capacity as a government employee in entering into a transaction and organized a trade fair at Alaminos Pangasinan, then she should be suspended or even dismissed for violating the revised penal code and Department of Interior and Local Government Code that government employees, whether elected or appointed are prohibited from doing such activities or transactions.

Her immediate superior should initiate disciplinary action on this employee unless her boss or superiors gave her blessings for her to do so. If this is the case, then I could guess that there are some who partook of the pie. Wanna guess?
