Kaban ni D_BystandeR: LAHI NGA TALAN-AWON ANG GIPAKITA NI PAT
Sr. Supt. Patrocinio Comendador |
I cannot help but wonder at the kind of reaction of Sr. Supt. Patrocinio Comendador Jr., Cebu provincial police director about the incident that transpired between Mayor Luisa Loot of Daanbantayan and a Barangay Captain of Barangay Bakhawan in Daanbantayan.
It was reported that Mayor Loot berated Barangay Captain Bernardito Luche in the presence of the mayor's armed escorts. A supporter of the barangay captain who was covering the incident with a video camera was allegedly side-swept by one of the mayor's armed escorts who insulted and threatened the guy in the process. The youth is now scared for his life especially when told someone was looking for him. And Mayor Loot has the gall to tell that although she is the wife of a general she does not bring armed escorts, a fact that was found to be false as the Bakhawan residents were living witnesses to the harassment made by the mayor to the barangay chief in the presence of her armed escorts on motorbikes. Perhaps Comendador is showing only courtesy to the mayor's husband who is a general that is why he seemed lukewarm to the request for police assistance by said barangay chief who is currently running for a seat in the municipal council under the Liberal Party.
Comendador said the police cannot enter the area unless there is a serious threat to life of both parties. How can it be when the threat is only to the side of the barangay chief and none for the mayor who was herself doing the harssment? So we cannot expect the police to come into the picture because the requirement is that lives of both sides are threatened and there's no threat to the mayor's life. With this development, we can expect the people belonging to the opposite party - the Liberal Party - to be cowering in fear under the present set up in Daanbantayan. Just imagine, LP supporters waiting for the LP caravan in Daanbantayan were threatened by the mayor's armed escorts and decided to bypass Daanbantayan because of the threat.
And Comendador, as if unaware of the threat to the life of the youth who took video coverage of that confrontation asked the youth to file a complaint with the office of DILG.
