guv wants police
control back to LGUs
BY JUANCHO GALLARDE
Oriental Negros Vice Gov. Jose Petit Baldado said he wants the control and supervision of the Philippine National Police to be given back to local chief executives.
Baldado said the stigma of abuse is now lessened because of advancements in the justice system, a concerned citizenry, and the presence of an active and independent media. In the past, he said, LGU supervision and control of the police was ridden with controversies because of abusive local chief executives. This has changed over the years with an enlightened breed of leaders and an educated constituents, he added.
Baldado also said that abuses can now be easily checked
and denounced before the media or through the ballots every three years.
Wrongdoings are even exposed in the pulpit, he said.
