6 Negros cops face suspension for drinking inside station


MANILA, Philippines - Six policemen in central Philippines are in hot water for allegedly having a drinking spree inside their station, a police spokesman said Wednesday. Chief Inspector Rico Santotome of the Negros Occidental Police said the six are currently undergoing investigation after they were caught drinking during a surprise inspection at the Ilog Municipal Police Station last Sunday. Santotome said if found guilty, SPO1 Ramon Macaya, PO3 Noel Joquino, PO2 Edward Gayuma, PO1 Joseph Caballero, PO1 Gecel Dela Cruz and PO1 Jonjer Yap would be suspended for 15 days without pay. “The inspecting team was surprised to see the policemen inside the police station drinking alcoholic beverages while in uniform, some of them in incomplete attire,” the official said. He said the inspections are conducted regularly to determine the readiness of all policemen in the province on anti-criminality campaign. Santotome said they would leave it to the Ilog Police chief if the six cops would be sanctioned while investigation is ongoing. - GMANews.TV
