The death of flight attendant Christine Dacera has opened a fresh can of worms on how the police can be extremely careless and irresponsible in handling criminal cases, particularly complicated ones.
National Police Chief Debold Sinas got some flak for saying the public would be advised not to take videos or photos when witnessing a crime because it is “very tricky.” Coming from the head of the law enforcement institution who was caught on camera violating strict quarantine protocols, which he was expected to implement, such a statement wasn’t surprising at all.
The promotion of Metro Manila police chief Major General Debold Sinas early this month to the top position of the Philippine National Police (PNP) mirrors the Duterte administration’s disregard for the rules and its high regard for loyalty.
