Cops
cry 'harassment'
versus 61st IB troopers
The Philippine National Police in Bais City and Manjuyod town were reportedly harassed by some troopers of the 61st Infantry Battalion due to an incident on Dec. 26, 2005.
On board their 6 x 6 truck, army troopers in full battle gear allegedly barged into the police station Sunday looking for the police officers who flagged them down while they were conducting a checkpoint on that day, the anniversary of the Communist Party of the Philippines - New Army.
Initial investigations showed that the army men were
offended when they were flagged down.
