4 ‘misbehaving’ Ecija cops axed, face probe

CABANATUAN CITY, Nueva Ecija-Four rookie policemen were restricted to a police station in Nueva Ecija and placed under investigation for allegedly barging inside while drunk and creating trouble in a restaurant in Zaragoza, Nueva Ecija last Sunday.

            Senior Superintendent Crizaldo Nieves, Philippine National Police provincial director, identified the four as PO2 Michael Pineda, PO1 Alexander Ordonio, PO1 Marvic Pasion and PO1 Robert Patrick Jan Tuquero.

            Pineda and Ordonio are both assigned at the Zaragoza police station while Pasion and Tuquero both belong to the Regional Public Safety Battalion based in Camp Olivas, Pampanga but on detail at the same station.

            Nieves said the four lawmen were placed under investigation based on the complaint filed by businesswoman Eva Escosa of Barangay Sto. Rosario Young, Zaragoza. Escosa, 48, is the owner of the Eva’s Restaurant in the same barangay.

            In her complaint, Escosa said the four entered her restaurant at around 6:30 pm last August 4, apparently drunk. They then approached three of the waitresses and started making advances by holding their hands.

            The waitresses, sensing that the lawmen were drunk, got scared and called up Escosa who was not around when the four arrived.    

             Nieves said the four were subjected to liquor test at the nearby La Paz Medicare Community Hospital and restricted at the station pending the results of the investigation.

             He said if found guilty, the four will be meted disciplinary sanctions. (Manny Galvez)
