PNP:
25 hold-up men,
snatchers rejoin society
BUT POLICE MONITORING THEM: HIDALGO
Just when you thought the Dumaguete City streets were safe with the capture of 25 holduppers and snatchers last year, the police now say that these suspects have either been released, or are about to be released from jail.
Chief Inspector Manuel Hidalgo, Dumaguete Police chief, said the suspects are either out on bail or have gained freedom as the cases filed against them have been dismissed.
"This is because the victims did not show up in court
during the hearings," lamented Hidalgo "The victims lose interest in
pursuing the case after they recover their stolen belongings," he added.

As far as could be recalled, residents of Apo Island have had to buy potable water from the towns of Dauin and or Zamboanguita by the gallon or by drums. With the increasing number of inhabitants and tourists on Apo Island, water consumption is also increasing and the problem is also getting bigger, Cabrido said. He disclosed that he is going to Cebu City this week to study
the technology used in Shangrila Hotel and other hotels in Mactan,
where seawater is being processed for drinking. |
