Chief Supt. Marcelo Garbo, chief of Police Regional Office 7 denied the allegation of Dumanjug mayor Nelson Garcia and will not investigate his claims regarding the use of police personnel unless a formal complaint is filed.
“We will check, maybe they are not used to getting checked, because before, the Garcias may be used to lording over there,” Garbo said.
He also denied ordering stricter checks on supporters of Garcia.
He further said that the PNP is strictly implementing the no guns and no goons in the entire region.
Senior Supt. Patrocinio Comendador Jr., chief of Cebu Provincial Police Office (CPPO) said the police getting accused of partisanship is “normal this time of election.”
He assured all candidates that they will be treated fairly and aquarely by the police on this election period./Correspondent Chito O. Aragon
