Police: Inmate takes fellow convict hostage in Pampanga

,

An inmate longing for his family took a fellow convict hostage at the provincial jail in Pampanga province on Friday morning, the police said.

Pampanga police chief Senior Superintendent Edgardo Tinio said the inmate used a bladed weapon to take his fellow convict hostage.

“Hindi lang dinadalaw ng pamilya kaya siguro bumigay, na disturb,” Tinio said in an interview on dzBB radio.

The inmate promised to release his hostage once his relative arrives.

Tinio said arrangements were made for the inmate’s sibling to visit him at the jail.

The relative was expected to arrive from Pangasinan within the day.

“We have his assurance su-surrender siya peacefully,” Tinio said.

In the meantime, Tinio said he has deployed a Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team to the jail.

Tinio cited initial reports indicating that the hostage-taker had some mood swings, although he accepted food given by jail officials.

He said the jail warden will investigate the incident after it is resolved.

Police gear up vs rebel threats

,

CAMP OLIVAS — Police in Central Luzon have raised the alarm against possible attacks from communist rebels, as the New People’s Army (NPA) observes its founding anniversary.
In a statement, Chief Superintendent Alan Purisima reminded police units within the region to be alert and take extra precautions for possible atrocities the rebel group may carry out, following their founding 42nd anniversary last March 29.
Purisima has also directed field unit commanders to strengthen and implement utmost security measures to pre-empt harassments of police personnel, ambuscades, raids, sabotage of cell sites and vital installations.
A series of field command conferences held in the different provinces within the region were also conducted in order to beef up security measures.
Police have also conducted inspections on “soft targets,” such as isolated and less fortified police and military outposts, government installations and infrastructure, and vital facilities.
Purisima said the regional police are in an aggressive stance to address criminality by way of implementing the Police Integrated Patrol System (Pips).
Pips is a tool adopted by the Philippine National Police in the conduct of anti-criminality and police operations to reduce street crimes, neutralize motorcycle riding criminals, arrest wanted persons and address other crimes committed with the use of firearms.

New lead in nursing student slay case found

,

ANGELES CITY — The Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) has found a new lead in the brutal killing of a nursing student here last year.
Chief Inspector Randy Glenn Silvio, chief of the Pampanga CIDG based in Barangay Pampang here, said two students of Angeles University Foundation (AUF) saw the victim being accompanied by several students on her way to the boarding house where she was killed.
Keith Valerio Ballesteros, 16, a former nursing student of AUF, was brutally killed inside her boarding house in Barangay Salapungan on September 3, 2009.
It has been five months since the killing but no suspects have been arrested and charged yet.
“Ang latest po, may nakunan kaming dalawang students from AUF ng statements na nakita yung victim na may kasamang students ng umuwi sa boarding house before she was found dead,” Silvio said.
Silvio, however, said the witnesses cannot identify the students who accompanied Ballesteros before she was murdered.
“Naghahanap po kami [ngayon] ng picture sa AUF para ma identify natin yung mga kasama ni Keith at makunan na rin sila ng statement,” Silvio added.
Earlier, leaders of Barangay Salapungan told Sun.Star Pampanga that the girl’s ghost was felt by a Bantay Bayan member and a nursing student of AUF in two instances.
Salapungan chairman Robert Yeen said one of Ballestero’s classmates saw the victim sitting and crying along the road leading to the boarding house where she was killed.
Frightened of what she experienced, the victim’s classmate screamed, making the residents in the neighborhood go out of their homes.
Ruben Mananquil, assistant executive officer of Barangay Salapungan, said he also encountered Ballestero’s ghost.
Mananquil is the one of the first responders who entered Ballestero’s boarding house on the day of the murder.
Yeen said the victim’s soul might be giving some clues that will lead authorities in solving the case.
Ballesteros relatives posted placards of the victim along the roads, Barangay Hall, and other places within the village.
The posters bear statement “Justice for Keith.”
Ballesteros, a native of Arayat town, sustained several stab wounds on the body, head bash and other serious injuries.

Police operatives SPO1 Manolo Castillo and PO2 Pedro Gumiday chased the suspects, who failed to show any pertinent documents of the said motorcycle.
They were also requested to open the compartment of the said vehicle where police recovered a pistol tucked in its holster.

Mayor, councilor trade barbs on corruption claims

,

MEXICO — In two separate venues, Mayor Teddy Tumang and Councilor Rex Calma of this town on Wednesday threw brickbats at each other, while answering accusations and barbs in their long-running feud.
Calma was first to hit Tumang anew, this time with additional charges and accusations of alleged corruption from purchases of medicines for municipal health units.
In his privilege speech before the municipal council at the Session Hall, Calma called on the mayor to explain to the people of Mexico the alleged funds approved by the august body for the purchase of medicines from 2005 to 2008 amounting to P45 million.
Kailangan mong ipaliwanag sa taong bayan kung saan napunta at saan mo dinala ang mga gamot na inaprubahan ng Sangguniang Bayan. May mga kontrabidang nangulimbat at nagpagamit kay Mayor Teddy Tumang para mabuo ang istorya ng garapalang pangungurakot sa ating bayan, Calma exclaimed, as he presented volumes of documents to prove his allegations.
Calma named Roberto Tugade, owner of Farza Medics Distributor in Bulacan; Tumang’s secretary Luz Bondoc; the mayor’s nephew and personal driver Michael Jude Tumang; Office of the Mayor staff Lemen Sampang and Minnie Snyder; and one Rizalito Dizon as alleged accomplices of Tumang in the transactions that took place in 2005 (P12,112,027), 2006 (P12,000,000), 2007 (P9,000,000) and 2008 (P11,700,000).
From the amounts, Calma alleged, came commissions for Tumang worth P14,443,513.40.
Calma said they will file with the Ombudsman the necessary charges against the mayor and his accomplices.
Calma clarified that his move is non political: It is just consistent with our advocacy of transparency, good governance and as an avid supporter of the present administration in weeding out rampant graft and corruption within the government and in pursuit of the so-called Daang Matuwid. As a duly elected Sangguniang Bayan member, I am compelled to expose this anomalous transaction in the hope that graft and corruption can be lessened, if not totally eradicated in our hometown Mexico. Patuloy po ako at ng mga kasama kong magbabantay sa pera ng bayan at sa mga tiwalang opisyal ng ating bayan.
Tumang, for his part, threw counterpunches in a flash conference at his office at the municipal hall, first by challenging Calma and company to prove their allegations.
They have to prove their allegations and I am most willing to face them in the proper forum. Time and again I have been cleared by the proper bodies and authorizes like the Ombudsman. Alam ng taong bayan na nagtatrabaho ako ng maayos at malinis. In fact, contrary to their claim na walang pera ang Mexico, we have posted a surplus of P22 million in 2011. They could obtain documents on that from our accountant. Besides, all transactions here undergo the proper audit and are very transparent, he said.
Tumang said the alleged reason why Calma has been hitting him for the longest time since they parted ways in 2007 is when he changed his color from green to orange.
It is all rooted from my scrapping of the councilors monthly allocation of P75,000 each and twice the amount for the vice mayor [Roy Manalastas]. We found out that some councilors, including Rex Calma, ay pinepera lang itong dapat ay financial assistance and materials aid for constituents. We have documents signed by barangay captains to prove that. Only about 10 percent of that, we discovered, is being used for the right purpose, Tumang said, showing desk pads bearing the signatures of the councilors he referred to, including Calma.
Hindi totoo itong mga ito. Like this Arnulfo Pineda from Panipuan. Walang ganoong tao doon based on our voters list, he added.
Tumang said he is likewise ready to file the necessary charges against Calma.
