Lousy Police Powers In The Philippines

Less intellect, low pay and inadequate training, those are only some of the major problems being encountered by our PNP. In fact, there are less facilities like motorcycles, jeep or vehicles to be used in the operation. If there are vehicles, no budget for fuels. And since they are paid less then try to enrich themselves in some otherways.

In some isolated cases like the hostage-drama which happened three days ago, August 23,2010, a day to be remembered by the Chinese Nationals who survived the tragedy, main reason for the wrong move is the lack of presence of mind, quick proper disposition by the SWAT team, teamwork has been forgotten. Just to think that they are after for only one man. To do some strapping into a closed vehicle with tourist inside, who would accept that justifications?

The SWAT team in our point of view should be well screened. A four-year degree holder to pass I.O. examinations, neuro exams and other related exams to test sharpness of mind and quick disposition. They should be given good salaries to complete or even more than and above the rest to attract intellectual person to join the police forces. Things like this teaches a lesson, hoping the government will take it seriously.
