National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) chief Major General Debold Sinas has apologized for allowing his men to throw a surprise birthday party for him at their police camp despite the ban on mass gatherings while Metro Manila remained on lockdown.
"I apologize for what transpired during my birthday that caused anxiety to the public. It was never my intention to disobey any existing protocols relative to the implementation of enhanced community quarantine," Sinas said in a statement sent to reporters on Wednesday, May 13.
NCRPO cops held a surprise birthday party for Sinas on May 8 to celebrate his 55th birthday. They gave a mañanita – an early morning serenade – for Sinas then they dines together without observing physical distancing, breaking quarantine protocols.
Sinas said he was fully aware of quarantine rules and had ordered his subordinates to follow them.
"They (NCRPO cops) were told to observe social distancing and other precautionary health measures. They were also told not to linger and prepare for the simultaneous relief distribution NCR-wide that day," Sinas said.
The Metro Manila police chief also said some posts circulating on social media were "edited" and from "old posts" but did not specify the social media pages or accounts where the supposed old, edited photos appeared.
The photos used by journalists who wrote about his birthday celebration were taken from the official Facebook page of the NCRPO posted on May 8, his birthday, but the post was no longer available as of Wednesday.
The PNP has launched an internal probe against Sinas and NCRPO cops. Interior Secretary Eduardo Año had also weighed in, saying what the top police official did was a "big no-no." – Rappler.com
Bound to get caught! They are hardworking frontliners but this is reckless and disturbing. The explanations they’re giving are also excuses. Kim Chiu called it and has been belittled. The law must be applied fairly.
ReplyDeleteLiquor Ban. ECQ. Bayanihan to heal as one act. Tapos ganyan?! Chief pa si koya. May tanong ako. Bakit may pa flowers? Debut ni Koya?! At bakit maliit un cap? Pong Pagong ganun?
Delete20 percent lang siguro sa kanila ang totoong sincere sa serbisyo, the rest are abusado and power trippers.
DeleteKasuhan yan. Malinaw ma paglabag yan sa ecq.
DeleteSabi nga diba: “No one is above the Law” or “Law is law”...ngaun nila patunayan yan sa kasong ito ni PMGen Sinas!
ReplyDeletemay liquor ban sa lagay na yan. Sige tagay!
ReplyDeleteYou shouldn’t be exempted to the law. Just punishment must be bestowed
ReplyDeleteHaler! Which picture was edited? Lame excuses, duh! Tabi tabi kayo without distance at all. Same clothes without masks. "No one is above the law", remember? I'm just curious, what punishment will be given to these disobedient authorities?
ReplyDeletePulis ang pinakamagaling pagdating sa pagpapalusot. Dahil tinitrain sila jan para panindigan nila mga kwento nila kung sakaling makwestyon o malagay sa trial.
DeleteSinabi na ngang bawal lumabas pero binago niyo pa din ang law ng classroom at nagsubmit kayo. Ah pwede na palang lumabas! Grabe si sir. Ano na lang sasabihin ng principal nyan?!
ReplyDeleteSila kasi yung mga Sgt-at-arms. Di ba sa mga classroom me mga President, Vice, Sec., Treasurer na binoboto. Yung siga ang sgt-@-arms.
Deletekasi ganito, wala sila sa labas...nasa LOOB sila mismo ng kampo nag iinom. Nalashing sila sa LOOB.
DeleteEntitled. Irresponsible.
ReplyDeleteMga Mars, ayokong maka-offend ha pero diba may parang policy sa mga pulis at sundalo na dapat fit and bawal ang medyo heavy? Yan lagi naiisip ko kapag palagi siyang in-interview o kaya naman nag roving kuno sila.
ReplyDeleteYes sis... not because nakakahiya ang mataba, but their jobs require it talaga because of the physical activities ng pulis at militar... pero, baka naman kasi mataas na ang rank niya, pa office2x nalang xa... hindi na nya kailangang maghabol ng kriminal, gumapang sa kung saan2x, etc.... hihihi....
DeleteBaka pag mga bagong pulis, strict sila na dapat fit. Pero pag major general na, pwede ng maging hippopotamus.
Delete1:59 hmph. Ang dami kayang matataba n pulis s low ranking kahit sila p yung mga naatasan n humabol s mga kriminal and/or nasa operation sila.
Delete159 how about being a role model to his subordinates? Para di naman siya mahiya kung kailangan sitahin yung mga lower in ranks.
DeleteYung kapitbahay nga namin PO2 pa lang pero ang laki na ng katawan. Mas malaki pa boobs nya sa boobs ko. 🤣
DeleteNaku, yung palusot ni sir sa news kakaloka. Edited daw ibang pics na wala silang mask at distancing. They observed protocols daw. Tapos December Christmas party raw ibang pics... December? Eh ibang tao sa background niyo nakamask na. Uso na ba ng December ang mask? Hahaaha baka explanation niyo ang edited.
ReplyDeleteang laki ng mga tiyan sa mga pulis natin sa pilipinas..parang hindi sila fit. parang lagi lang nakaupo at kumakain. dito sa abroad, ang mga pulis ay very fit..walang mga tiyan at mabilis tumakbo. sa laki nilang iyan, can they still chase robbers and offenders?
ReplyDeleteKaya nga di ba pinagsasabihan na mga tao na WAG GUMAMIT NG MGA GADGETS PAG NASA LABAS DAHIL TAKAW SNATCH at mahihirapan lang silang habulin pa mga yun kaya ganun ang mga paalala nila.
Deletetanggalin dapat yan dahil nagbibigay kahihiyan sa kapulisan.Sila dapat nagpapatupad ng batas tapos nag iinom, nagpaparty. Pero sa mga checkpoint siga sigaan ang iba, napaka strikto. Anyare?
ReplyDeleteDaming empty beer cans sa ilalim ng lamesa... kampaiiii!
ReplyDeleteMananita ba talaga yan? Ibig sabihin at around 5am naginuman na sila. I think dinner yan. Kung old posts ibig sabihin sa old photos nila same group at same suot? Patawa to si sir chief.
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable. How irresponsible, selfish and entitled can a person be?
ReplyDeleteBongga
ReplyDeleteSo ano to? Mercy na naman?
ReplyDeleteFunny that they are wearing face masks since last year. They are so health conscious hehe. They're doing this while lots of police officers are manning the check points 24/7, hoping savings and loan may help these honest police and not the party people.
ReplyDeleteBakit ang taba niya? Not o offend din ha kaso ang alam ko may policy sa kapulisan na bawal na ang overweight? Sabi ng fren ko di naman nakakahawa ang ASF between humans kaya no need ng masks and social distancing.
ReplyDeletemañanita? so madaling araw pa lang, mga lasing na kayo. kakapal ng mga mukha nyo!
ReplyDeleteYou're only sorry you got caught. Power corrupts - all legs and arms of governance, the military and the police are all dirty. Hopeless. One of the most corrupt nations.
ReplyDeleteGrabe, samantalang ang daming nagpaliban ng mga events, celebrations and even burol/lamay hindi pwede dahil bawal ang mass gatherings, tapos eto obvious naman na hindi mananita ang dating,with inuman pa grabe na talaga
ReplyDeletedapat dito sinuspinde. Nakakahiya ang ganitong asal at napapahiya ang buong kapulisan. Baka siya lang ang ganyan. Kasi mga kamag anak ko pulis yung iba, hindi naman ganyan.
ReplyDeleteay pa debut sa loob ng kampo. Ay oo nga wala sila sa labas, sa LOOB mismo sila.
