CHR declares Tanauan ‘encounter’ a rob out

Jump to Comments

The Commission on Human Rights (CHR), with their newly appointed chair Atty. Leila De Lima, said that the Tanauan City encounter between four of the six RCBC robbery-murder suspects and the PNP last May 16 was a rob out. The CHR based their conclusion on (1) the lack of search warrants, (2) the lack of evidence that links the four men to the RCBC incident and (3) the precise bullet holes found in the houses of the slain men – because if the PNP and the men indeed had an encounter, then the bullet holes would have been plenty, found everywhere and not strategically and precisely clustered in specific areas. 

The CHR now demands that the PNP give them, among others, the complete list of the cops who were present in that operation. The PNP, on the other hand, will cooperate with the CHR but they will stand by their initial report that it was not a summary execution a.k.a. rob out and that they have proof that the four men had indeed been involved with the RCBC incident. So far, the PNP still has no leads regarding the two uniformed men that are also suspects in the case.

With almost everything else in this country, the worn out phrase evil vs. lesser evil burns deeply in my head whenever I hear or read of crimes involving the cops, the army and the higher ups. It’s a huge disaster if you think about how little the people are able to trust the authorities with their lives. It’s even a question of whether you’d feel safe with them or not, of their competence and of their morality. Just a couple of hours back, as I was watching T.V. Patrol with my dad, two trainee cops were sent to jail for harassing and assaulting two female cellphone tinderas because the 20 peso cellphone load the two trainees bought took so long to arrive. The good news is that at least two would be evil cops were sent to jail before they could do more damage to society but the bad news is that they made the PNP look like sh*t AGAIN(raised to the nth power).

I think the PNP is drowning themselves in their fantasies that they are good and that the people love them. But most importantly, I believe the PNP is making an ass out of themselves when they think that they are even capable of thinking. Their collective intelligence is worth nothing more than white washing their incompetence with out-of-this-world lies and foolish ‘encounters’ with the suspects. They’re taking the queue from the government where we learn that the best way to solve any problem is to hide it, cover it up with a new and bigger problem and then sensationalize it by scaring the public out of their minds (hello, rice shortage, making the text service free and the death penalty c/o Kuya Migz!?).  

Honestly, if the PNP is so damn confident that their intelligence was and is correct regarding the four men in Tanauan then why keep their so-called witness, if they do have any, under wraps? For security purposes? From who?! Would the two remaining uniformed suspects have the capacity to launch a surprise attack in your headquarters and take your witness away from under your nose? If that is the case, then OMG, you are incompetent.
