'Harassment
by army men A case of misinterpretation which had been blown out of proportion. This was the reaction yesterday of Lt. Col. Norman Flores, commanding officer of the 61st Infantry Battalion, whose troopers reportedly harassed policemen of Bais City, Oriental Negros, Sunday. Flores denied reports of harassments saying that the presence
of soldiers in full battle gear on board an M-35 truck near the
police station of Bais City, may have alarmed policemen and could
have been misinterpreted by residents as an attack. |
