Hole of
Justice
By Peter
G. Jimenea
Where is
Ching?
Christoper
Ching, an employee of the Iloilo City Treasurer’s Office (ICTO) has been missing
since the first quarter of 2010. He disappeared just after the surprised audit conducted
by COA at his office.
COA personnel
audited the ICTO due to complaints of city hall employees about their delayed
salaries. The result revealed that Ching has incurred a P2.3M shortage in his
cash possession.
The
compounding problem is that another P25M was discovered missing in the ICTO
coffers. Ching disappeared after the audit leaving us groping in the dark for
an answer why and how the shortage happened.
Soon rumors
from the ICTO started to grind that the amount embezzled by him is not only
P2.3M but P27.3M In short, the missing P25M was charged also to his account by
ICTO officials.
But the rumors spreading at the old City Hall were disputed
by complaining employees. They claimed the P25M is not missing. Somebody being
closed to the king had been using the money for personal gains.
Evil they can only be. The P25M cash is used to buy the pending
salaries of poor employees. Those in dire need of cash are forced to sell their
pay slip to the city hall vultures at a discounted rate. This is what the
earlier claim hinted at.
Yet, the
undesirable underling being tapped by the mastermind to run this God forbidden
business has also a stink in her closet. She is publicly known in the palace as
the power-pilfering queen. PECO has her bad record.
But God
is good. COA invaded the ICTO without prior notice. The surprise raid of COA resulted
to the discovery not only of the P2.3M cash shortage of Ching but also of
another missing P25M in the ICTO coffers!
If we
take a careful look at the records of the city government, it can drive an
honest city employee to the brink of insanity. It seems that top city hall officials
had been affected by RA 3019 disease . Lowly ICTO employees are most sorely
tempted to steal but don’t.
The
deliberately delay of employees salaries has been going on for years, yet, then
Mayor Jerry Trenas was so silent about it. Anyway, he has that right to remain
silent. In fact, who would kill a duck that lays golden eggs?
I can
only pity Ching for his acquiescence to the advice of ICTO crooks and his boss
to hide to save face. He did not save himself by running away from
responsibility. What he spared is the integrity of the mastermind. Now, his P2.3M
shortage has instantly increased to P27.3M because of his stupidity.
He played
an actor in a role he cannot fully understand. He failed to notice that it took
eight-years for the suspect mastermind to master the OPM, an art of making
money by using “other people’s mind.”
Had
Ching stayed to tell the truth, he could have been exonerated from this
unwanted mess. He forgot that vigilante
prospiciunt jura -the law protects him who is watchful of his rights.
(Salao vs. Salao, 70 SCRA 65).
What
happened now to the P27.3M taxpayers’ money? We heard no case was filed against
Ching. Well, God knows, culpa lata dolo a
equiparatur – gross negligence is equivalent to malice or intentional wrong.
But where is Ching?

Hole of Justice

The PNP Neophytes at Checkpoints
Critics cannot say this space has never been a friendly place for the police. They should know that I am very supportive of the programs of RD C/Supt. Cipriano Querol, Jr. and other high ranking officers of the Police Regional Office 6 (PRO6) at Camp Delgado, Iloilo City.
I see their sincerity in cleaning up the command of scalawags in service. But sometimes due to workload, he and other top rank officers of the PRO6 may have neglected to monitor the activities of their uniformed personnel at checkpoints.
The idea of putting up police checkpoints in different areas of the city is good for peace-loving citizens. It intimidates the bad elements of society more so on motorcycle riders in tandem who are about to commit crimes.
But motorcycle riders are not third-class citizens that deserved disrespect from young police officers. My personal account on disdainful police manners at checkpoints on March 31, 2012 is another story that won’t go away.
The first incident took place in front of the Barangay Hall of Brgy. Calumpang, Molo, Iloilo City. I went out to buy fish from roving-vendors gathered at the nearby store for their cups of coffee when this new experience happened.
It was about five o’clock in the morning when I was stopped by a young police officer at a checkpoint, waving his hand as signal for me to park the vehicle at the roadside. Thereafter, he inspected my motorcycle’s plate.
With a sticker pasted on it, he knew the vehicle is registered. He then approached me and asked for my driving license in a commanding voice; “Your license.” What is somewhat missing in the empty life of this boy in police uniform is his GMRC - good manners and right conduct!
He even forgot to use the words of a gentleman such as; “May I,” “Can I,” or “Please” in asking for driver’s license he wanted to see. Even a “good morning” is stranger to him. He doesn’t have the faintest idea that as a taxpayer, I contribute a part of his salary, payments for house-bills and food for the family!
On what misfortune, I was again treated with the same bad manners and wrong conduct of police officers manning the UPV-Iloilo checkpoint in the evening of March 31, 2012. Except for a policewoman issuing PRO6 stickers, the checkpoint seems to have been overrun by rascals who knew nothing about GMRC. On how did they enter the police service the “Neuro” chief of PRO6 may have something to say about this!
There are motorcycles in the city that cost millions, more than some four-wheeled-vehicles but the rider-owners are simple people. On why neophyte-members of the PNP at checkpoints have less respect to motorcycle riders, perhaps there is a need for them to undergo a new training!
Look, ill-mannered young police officers at the checkpoints when talking to SUV vehicle-owners, looked like polite boys in school uniform. They can correctly speak “good evening po, sorry for the inconvenience but this is for your own good.” Walanghiya talaga, madrama pa!
This is not what we think the police business of neophytes in service is all about. Perhaps, for RD C/Supt. Querol to deliver the spanking they deserved for being stupid, is the best cure for disrespect and misbehavior!
I hope this serves as another lesson to young police officers at checkpoints who lack GMRC. The single motorcycle drivers are taxpayers too. Do not destroy their high-esteem to the PNP uniform you are so proud of, or else, they will tend to respect more the other party – which is not good for you and me!
