MANILA BUS HOSTAGE TAKING
Here’s another negative issue about Manila police. A discharged police officer deemed it rightful to hostage a bus filled with tourists, apparently asking to be reinstated and be cleared of any charges.
POLICE BRUTALITY AT AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT LEVEL
Since I went back to work, I haven’t been able to read through newspapers and watch news on tv. It was only at the latter part of last week that I heard of the police torture done by Manila policemen to a suspected snatcher. It was another police who perhaps took the courage to capture [...]
