Ang hampas lupang PO2 at PO3!
MASASABI kong ang ating
PNP ang isa sa may
pinakamaganda at
nakakahangang police uniform
sa buong mundo. Ang
matingkad na kulay asul at
magarbong disenyo ng som-
brero ang nagbibigay ng
kahanga-hangang itsura nito.
Pero noong January 25 ng
hapon nababoy ang magan-
dang oniporme ng PNP dahil
sa dalawang hampas lupang
pulis na sina PO2 Rizaldy
Galvez at PO3 Ronaldo Gamor.
Noong Lunes, bandang 2:00
p.m., matapos makapagbili ng
mga paninda sa Baclaran ang
magkapatid na vendor na sina
Rosalina Caraan at Elvira De
Leon, sumakay sila ng taxi. Ilang
saglit pa isang mobile patrol
car ang pumara sa taxi na
sinasakyan nila.
Naka-oniporme ang mga
pulis na bumaba ng mobile car
at sila ay nakilalang sina PO2
Galvez at PO3 Gamor.
Hiningian ng resibo ng mga
pulis ang dalawang vendor dahil
may hinala daw silang
smuggled merchandize ang
mga paninda na nabili nila.
Hindi pa nakakapag-
paliwanag ang magkapatid,
tinadtad na sila ng mura ng

mga pulis si Rosalinda sa mobile
car at inutusan si Elvira at ang
taxi driver na bumuntot sa
kanila.
Habang nasa mobile car si
Rosalinda at paikot-ikot sila sa
mga iskinita, halinhinang
pinagmumura siya nina Galvez
at Gamor at pinaaamin na
siya’y smuggler. Halos atakihin
sa puso si Rosalinda at
mangiyak-ngiyak na
ipinaliwanag niyang hindi siya
masamang tao. Ipinakita ni
Rosalinda ang resibo na
pinagbilhan niya ng mga
paninda. Pero mas lalo siyang
pinagmumura.
Pumara sa isang kanto ang
mobile car at kinausap ng mga
pulis sina Rosalinda at Elvira.
Tinanong ng mga pulis kung
magkano ang perang dala
nilang dalawa. Ibinulalat ni
Rosalinda ang kanyang pitaka
at ipinakita sa mga pulis ang
natatanging P1,500 na pera nila.
Kinuha ng mga pulis ang pera.

Hindi pa nakuntento sa
pagkakasimot sa pera ni
Rosalinda hinanap ng mga
pulis ang mga cellphone ni
Rosalinda at Elvira dahil gusto
rin nilang kunin sana ito.
Mabuti na lang at mabilis na
nalito ng magkapatid ang mga
pulis at naisiksik ni Elvira sa
loob ng kanyang panty ang
kanilang mga cellphone kaya
hindi nakuha ang mga ito.
Todo-todo ang pagmama-
kaawa ni Rosalinda sa mga
pulis na huwag silang saktan
at ikukulong dahil wala naman
silang kasalanan. Sinabi din
ni Rosalinda sa mga pulis na
may sakit siya sa puso.
Nang marinig iyon nina
Galvez at Gamor, sinabi nila kay
Rosalinda na dahil sila ay mga
maawaing pulis kaya
pakakawalan niya silang
magkapatid sa kundisyon na
huwag na silang muling tumapak
ng Maynila kundi sa susunod
ay disgrasya na ang aabutin nila.
Sa tulong ng WANTED SA
RADYO narelieve na sa
kanilang mga puwesto ang
dalawang pulis at sila ay
nadisarmahan na din.
Naisampa na rin ang kasong
robbery extortion laban sa
kanila sa piskalya at kasong

Korapsyon, salot sa lipunan
NAKASALALAY sa walang kundisyong pagdurog sa
kultutra ng pagnanakaw at korapsyon ang muling pag-ahon
ng ating bayan sa pagkalugmok sa kahirapan. Korapsyon
ang salot ng lipunan na siyang nagpaparusa sa mamamayan
at animo’y kanser na unti-unting nagpapahina sa bansa sa
pamamagitan ng lantarang pagnanakaw sa kaban ng bayan.
Kung ating iisiping mabuti araw-araw ay laman ng
pahayagan ang korapsyon. Korapsyon sa halos lahat ng
sangay ng pamahalaan magmula sa kapirasong permit sa
isang munisiplidad hanggang sa kataas-taasang pedestal
ng kapangyarihan. Dahil sa korapsyon, nawawaldas ang
halos 40 porsiyento ng annual government budget natin,
dahilan din ito upang ang 94 milyong Filipino ay mamaluktot
at umasa sa remittances mula sa nagpapaaliping 7 milyong
OFW natin sa ibang bansa para mabuhay.
Korapsyon ang halimaw
na sumisila sa kakayanang
magsilbi ng tama ng milyong
empleyado ng pamahalaan.
Ito ang balakid sa daanan
upang tumakbo ng makinis at
walang sagabal ang
kawanihan ng pamahalaan.
Laksa-laksang salapi ang nauuwi sa korapsyon sa mga
proyektong nilalaanan ng budget ng pamahalaan. Ito rin
ang source ng pork barrel ng ating mga mambabatas na
kalimitan ay nauuwi sa bulsa ng mga korap imbes na sa
proyekto. Dahil sa korapsyon naging atraksyon ito sa mga
mandarambong at tulisan upang gawing negosyo ang
pamumulitika. Napagtanto nila na mas madali ang paghakot
ng trolley ng salapi kung ikaw ay malagay sa pwesto. Para
ka lang namumulot ng kaligay sa tabing dagat ng salapi.
Korapsyon din ang susi upang malapit ka sa kataas-taasang
kapangyarihan at makihati sa biyayang tinatamasa nito.
Maaari kang mag-buhay hari at mang-alipin ng iyong kapwa
sa lugar na iyong nasasakupan. Mapapatahimik mo ang
sinumang kumontra sa iyong kagustuhan at ibaon sila ng
anim na piye sa ilalim ng lupa, gaya ng nalathala sa mga
pahayagan kamakailan lang. Maaari mo ring baluktutin ang
batas upang pumabor sa ‘yo kahit tuwid na highway ay
maaari mong likuin para madaanan ang liblib na lugar na
iyong maibigan kapalit ay trolley ng salapi.
Ang korapsyon ay isang uri ng kanser na walang lunas,
unti-unti nitong kinakain at dinudurog ang iyong moralidad,
nilulusaw ang iyong pang-unawa at sinusunog ang iyong
kaluluwa.
Kung wala ang korapsyon, mas madali tayong
makakaahon sa kahirapan at muling babalik ang sigla ng
ating ekonomiya. Payong kapatid lang po sa ating mga po-
litico, isapuso lang ang pangakong durugin at lipulin ang
kultura ng korapsyon.

‘TERMINATOR’ TO VISIT MANILA
ACTOR-turned-California Gov.
Arnold Schwarzenegger is coming to
Manila on February 7 to boost an on-
going rehabilitation and reconstruc-
tion efforts for families and commu-
nities displaced by typhoons Ondoy
and Pepeng last year.
A report posted on
abs.cbnnews.com said Schwarzeneger,
the star of the blockbuster ‘Terminaor’
franchise, will also share his exper-
tise and experience in rehabilitation
efforts in New Orleans which was
pummeled by Hurricane Katrina in
2005.
The news website said
Schwarzenegger’s visit was confirmed
by Butch Meily, Executive Director of
the Philippine Disaster Recovery
Foundation (PDRF).
Schwarzenegger, who is married
to journalist Maria Shriver, has been
governor of California since 2003.
Schwarzenegger will also meet
3
with officials of the Special National
Public Reconstruction Commission
(SNPRC), which was created by
President Arroyo in October 2009 “to
seek financial aid or raise funds for
reconstruction efforts after successive
storms hit the country. “
The SNPRC is also tasked to study
the causes, costs and disaster re-
sponse measures needed after the
storms that battered the country last
year.
