Four barangay watchmen in Las Piñas City to be investigated for alleged salvaging of a person, several other suspects still at large

January 8, 2024January 3, 2024carlocarrasco

Recently in the City of Las Piñas, four watchmen of Barangay Manuyo (note: the newspaper did not specify which Barangay Manuyo it is) were released from jail temporarily but they still will be investigated over the alleged salvaging of man, according to a Manila Bulletin news report.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt the Manila Bulletin news report. Some parts in boldface…

Four barangay watchmen accused of alleged “salvaging” of a man in Las Piñas are facing investigation despite their temporary release from jail.

The Prosecutor’s Office ordered the temporary release of Jason Santos, Joseph Clarion, Romeo Natividad and barangay ex-officio Jaime Forteo, all watchmen of Barangay Manuyo, for lack of evidence.

According to P/Master Sgt. Marsito Torreon, Las Piñas police investigator, the arrested suspects were released by the Las Piñas Prosecutor’s Office pending further investigation.

Torreon said the Prosecutor’s Office had set the preliminary investigation on the alleged salvaging of Gerico Rocabo, 24, on January 8.

Torreon said they were able to submit the CCTV footage showing the arrest and mauling of Rocabo by the suspects last Dec. 26.

The police investigator said Barangay Manuyo officials refused to provide the police a copy of the CCTV footage on the incident claiming the camera was not working during the arrest despite the coordination made by city police chief, Col. Jaime Santos, with Barangay chairman Boboy dela Cuz.

Torreon said Santos coordinated with Dela Cruz for the surrender of the remaining suspects and submit a copy of the CCTV footage for investigation.

He said they were able to get a copy of the CCTV footage on the incident after learning that Generika drug store in front of Barangay Mauyo Hall was able to capture the incident.

Torreon said there are still nine suspects that remain at large and two of them were identified as Barangay Kagawad Ongie dela Cruz and Eleno Rongavilla Jr.

Torreon said the arrest of the four suspects was made by his team composed of Master Sgt. Glen Acaba, Staff Sgt. Lary Reparejo, and Cpl. Mark Edwin Orongan.

He said the body of Rocabo was discovered at around 10:00 a..m. on Dec. 26 in a creek in Barangay Manuyo and was reported to the police at around 11:00 a.m.

The police investigator said the victim died due to strangulation and his body was badly beaten.

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: If you are a resident of Las Piñas City, what is your reaction to this development? Are you concerned that the salvaging of a victim could spread fear in your local community? Are the barangay watchmen in your local community disciplined and always implement the laws with regards to safety and security?

The Bureau of Immigration (BI) announced recently that they prevented two sex offenders from the United States from entering the country in separate times at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), according to a Manila Bulletin news report. Both foreigners were respectively convicted of varied offences in the past.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the Manila Bulletin news report. Some parts in boldface…

Two convicted American sex offenders have been barred from entering the Philippines when they arrived at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) separately on Dec. 27 and Jan. 1.

The Bureau of Immigration (BI) identified them as Paul Neal Coltharp, 46, and Zachary Tyler Thompson, 39.

“Both aliens have been immediately excluded and flown back to their port of origin and their names have been included in the BI’s blacklist of undesirable aliens,” the bureau said.

As registered sex offenders (RSOs), the bureau explained “both Thompson and Coltharp are excludable aliens under the Immigration Act which forbids the entry of aliens convicted of crimes involving moral turpitude.”

It said that Thompson, who arrived from Los Angeles, had been “convicted in 2013 and 2015 for possessing obscene materials depicting a minor in sexual conduct and for annoying or molesting a child under 18 years of age.”

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development?

The suspect has been charged for overstaying in the country, for working without a permit and for cyber crime.

An Indonesian national who worked for a Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (POGO) facility that was raided by law enforcement agents mid this year was apprehended at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) last Dec. 21 before he could board his flight to Singapore.

The Bureau of Immigration (BI) identified the arrested foreigner as Angga Pratama, 24, who used to work with Xinchuang Network Technology, Inc. (XNT) in Las Pinas City.

Angga has been charged with overstaying in the Philippines and working without a permit. He was also charged with cybercime while employed at XNT, BI said.

XNT was raided by agents of the Philippine National Police (PNP) last June 27 for alleged human trafficking and cybercrime.

The PNP rescued from the facility around 2,700 persons including Filipinos and foreigners who were believed (to) be human trafficking victims.

Following the raid, the PNP filed before the DOJ charges against five foreigners who were involved in the operations of the illegal POGO, namely, Li Jiacheng, Xiao Liu, Yan Jiayong, Duan Haozhuan and LP Hongkun.

“The BI remains vigilant in its efforts to safeguard our borders against individuals involved in illegal activities,” Commissioner Norman Tansingco said in a statement issued on Sunday, Dec. 24.

“We are committed to ensuring the security and integrity of our nation’s borders,” he said.

During inspection at the NAIA, Angga’s name was found included in a derogatory hitlist of the BI.

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? Do you think that there are still lots of foreigners who committed crime here in the Philippines who are trying to leave without getting caught? Do you think POGOs are hot spots of cyber crime and other illegal activities?

Mayor Ruffy Biazon paid tribute to outstanding residents, including most valuable player in basketball Karl Kevin Argana Quiambao, and cited the gains of the city government this year as Muntinlupa celebrated its 106th founding anniversary on Dec. 19.

“Today, we stand on the shoulders of those who came before us, proud inheritors of a legacy that stretches back over a century. In fact, it has been 38,690 days since Muntinlupa was established as an independent municipality by the stroke of a pen by an American Governor-General of the Philippines,” said Biazon in his address at the anniversary celebration.

It was on Dec. 19, 2017 when Governor-General Francis Burton Harrison signed Executive Order No. 108 that made Muntinlupa a municipality.

“Muntinlupa remains a beacon of strength and resilience. Our city has weathered storms, both literal and metaphorical, and emerged stronger each time. As we reflect on the past year, let us not only acknowledge the challenges we faced but also celebrate the victories, both big and small, that have shaped our community,” said Biazon.

Awards – Biazon cited the different awards the Muntinlupa City government received this year.

One of them was the Seal of Good Local Governance (SGLG), which, he said, meant that the city government has been delivering excellent services to the public.

Muntinlupa also received eight awards at the Urban Governance Exemplar Awards of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG).

In city competitiveness, said Biazon, Muntinlupa garnered third place in resiliency and infrastructure pillars and fifth place overall most competitive local government unit among highly urbanized cities in the country.

Muntinlupa also received the Green Banner Seal of Compliance Award, “the highest recognition given to LGUs for its sustainable intervention programs to combat and completely eradicate malnutrition especially among children.”

“Each individual department and office of the City Government also has its own share of victories and triumphs. In the past year alone, we have welcomed and hosted several fellow local governments (cities and municipalities) both from Metro Manila and the provinces which conducted benchmarking activities and learning visits in the City,” said Biazon.

Outstanding residents – Biazon named residents who stood out in their respective fields this year.

One of them is tricycle driver Dexter Pacquiao from Barangay Cupang who returned P413,000 in cash that was left by an overseas Filipino worker (OFW).

Quiambao, a resident of Barangay Bayanan, was also hailed by the mayor for being the MVP in basketball in the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) Season 86.

Biazon also mentioned athletes who won medals for the country in different sports events including the 19th Asian Games.

Among them were Asian Games gold medalist Annie Ramirez of Barangay Cupang who won the feat in the Jiu-Jitsu Women’s 57KG category, and bronze medalist Kaila Napolis of Barangay Poblacion who bagged the award in the Jiu-Jitsu Women’s 52KG category.

He also cited brothers Shugen at Keisei Nakano who won silver and bronze medals, respectively, in judo in the 32nd SEA Games, and Daryl Mercado who won a bronze medal in the same sport.

The mayor also mentioned three students of Colegio de Muntinlupa who competed in the 2023 Vex Robotics World Championship. They were Arthur Simundac, Kenneth De Guzman, and Mark Lawrence Ragus.

“It has been 437 days since I assumed the post of Mayor of Muntinlupa City. It is not just the leaders who make reform and progress happen..it is often the hard work of those on the ground,” said Biazon.

He added, “We are here now celebrating this significant day because of all the men and women who showed up, who fought hard, whose battles were marred by defeat and victory, but showed up nonetheless in the arena.”

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What do you think about this recent development? If you are a resident of Muntinlupa, are you delighted with what the city and the outstanding residents collectively achieved this year? Do you see a bright future for Muntinlupa City in 2024?

Recently in the City of Muntinlupa, the newest water treatment plant (WTP) of water concessionaire Maynilad in Barangay Poblacion was formally inaugurated with the presence of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr., and Mayor Biazon expressed hope that the said plant will solve water service interruptions, according to a Manila Bulletin news report.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of the Manila Bulletin. Some parts in boldface…

Muntinlupa Mayor Ruffy Biazon is hoping that Maynilad’s new water treatment plant in the city will solve water service interruptions that are being experienced by residents.

President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. led the inauguration of Maynilad’s Poblacion Water Treatment Plant (WTP) in Muntinlupa on Dec. 15.

“We hope this new facility will help address challenges in water supply in Muntinlupa,” posted Biazon on Facebook.

Biazon joined the inauguration along with Muntinlupa Rep. Jaime Fresnedi, Poblacion Barangay Chairman Allen Ampaya, Environment Sec. Maria Antonia Yulo-Loyzaga, Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) Administrator Leonor Cleofas, and Maynilad Chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan.

According to Maynilad, the Poblacion WTP has a capacity to produce 150 million liters of water per day.

Biazon said this December, the plant is expected to produce 50 million liters per day, and by the first half of 2024, it will go on full operations.

President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. (PBBM) led today, December 15, 2023, the formal inauguration of Maynilad’s Poblacion Water Treatment Plant (WTP) in Muntinlupa City.

Maynilad said the new WTP cost P11 billion and it is the company’s third water treatment facility that gets raw water from the Laguna Lake.

It said the new plant will service about one million customers in Parañaque, Las Piñas, Muntinlupa, and Cavite.

“The additional water supply it produces will help to minimize service interruptions due to raw water quality shifts in Laguna Lake, which have been occurring with more frequency owing to the effects of climate change,” the company said in a press release.

It said the new treatment plant uses a multi-stage process of dissolved air flotation, cloth filter, biological aerated filter, ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis, and chlorination to ensure that the water from Laguna Lake passes the Philippine National Standards for Drinking Water (PNSDW) of the Department of Health.

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? If you are a resident of Muntinlupa City, are you optimistic that the new WTP of Maynilad will at least reduce the number of water service interruptions?
