MANILA, Philippines – An employee of the Bureau of Customs is facing charges of attempted murder after he allegedly fired his gun at a vehicle after a traffic altercation in Makati.

Police said customs clerk Paulino Elevado, who was driving a white Porsche, chased down a Toyota Innova after a minor mishap.

Footage from a CCTV camera in the early hours of January 21 showed Elevado’s sports car speeding on the southbound lane of South Luzon Expressway as it chased the Innova being driven by a 20-year-old student.

The student, who declined to be identified, swerved to the service road heading to Villamor Air Base to evade Elevado.

However, Elevado did not give up chase and eventually caught up with the student and his passenger.

Elevado and his companion, a certain Florencio Bato, allegedly beat up the student and his friend.

When Elevado threatened to get his firearm from his vehicle, the student and his friend sped off.

The student told police that Elevado fired at his vehicle 4 times during the chase.

“Naririnig nila may pumuputok. ‘Yun lang ang sabi nila,” said Inspector Willy Masiglat of Pasay police.

Bullet holes were found in the rear of the Innova.

Elevado and Bato were caught near a Pasay hotel and were turned over to police. Recovered from them was a caliber .40 calibre firearm.

They are facing charges of physical injuries and attempted murder. Both were jailed for 2 days before being released prior to the preliminary investigation.

ABS-CBN News tried to get a response from Elevado but he could not be contacted as of posting. -- Report from Anthony Taberna, ABS-CBN News

And I admire the presence of mind nung mga naka Innova, good thing they sought shelter sa Marriot hotel, and according to TV kanina, the steel barrier ng carpark entrance ang nakatulong para matimbog yung naka Porsche. May kasama pa palang business man yung Customs Clerk sa loob ng kotse.. 2 things,, puwede regalo sa kanya yung car or sa businessman mismo ang car at yung clerk ang inside contact nya sa mga importation.

Kahit 2nd hand yan bro nasa 4M+ pa din yan which is impossible to buy if you're just a regular custom clerk.

Mentally disabled is apt to the guy I guess.

If all allegations are true then you have a classic case study of an arrogant, corrupt government employee.

Hats off to the student for his presence of mind in such a situation although it's not explained what caused the incident.

I googled the name of the customs guy and here's what came up:

Customs employee faces bribery charges
(philstar.com) Updated October 13, 2011 01:23 PM Comments (0)

MANILA, Philippines – A worker of the Bureau of Customs (BOC) faced criminal and administrative charges after an importer said the official allegedly asked bribe money from him.

Flor Tagle, an import and export consultant for Prima Modas Inc., sued Paulino Elevado IV, an administrative aide at the Customs bureau, for violating the Code of Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees, and the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act.

In complaint before the Office of the Ombudsman, Tagle detailed how Elevado denied the entry of Prima Modas’ shipment from China last March despite “favorable endorsement from the Office of the Commissioner.”

The shipment, the complaint said, contained gummed paper, hair accessories and men’s slippers, among others, passed the inspection conducted by the Customs’ Run After The Smugglers (RATS) program, and was cleared for release last March 28.

“When our papers were forwarded to the Office of the District Collector, Port of Manila, a certain Paulino Elevado met me and said that before our entry papers could get endorsement, we were required to give P200,000.00 or P100,000.00 without the snacks,” the complaint stated.

“The illegal demand made for grease money is quite big and has no legal basis, as such, our company did not agree. I pleaded for understanding, but he (Elevado) said ‘Kung wala ‘yung hinihingi ko, huwag na tayong mag-usap,” it added.

The Department of Finance’s Revenue Integrity Protection Service (RIPS) conducted an investigation on the matter and found probable cause to charge Elevado “for trying to extort the sum of P200,000 in exchange for the signature of the district collector of Port of Manila.”

“This is a proof that with the public and the government working together, we can cleanse the bureaucracy of corrupt officials who think of nothing but how to take advantage of our people in order to fulfill their self-serving interests,” RIPS Executive Director Romeo D. Tomas, Jr. said.



He called on other people who have experienced similar corrupt practices as well as concerned citizens to come forward and seek the government’s help through the Pera ng Bayan Web site (www.perangbayan.com), where they can provide information anonymously.

DoF execs file graft charges vs 4 BoC officials
By Charlie V. Manalo
02/23/2011


Mid-level officials of the Department of Finance (DoF) have filed graft and administrative charges against four Bureau of Customs (BoC) officials and several others before the Office of the Ombudsman.

Charged were Port of Manila Customs collector Rogel Gatchalian, Gatchalian’s staff lawyer Marlon Agaceta, special assistant Paulino Elevado, spot checker Reffy Gorre and 12 other respondents.

In a 22-page complaint-affidavit, DoF lawyer Esteban Garong accused Gatchalian and other respondents of allegedly defrauding the government of more than P3 million in revenues after he facilitated the release of misdeclared goods without paying the necessary taxes.

Garong and another complainant Ruben Anthony Frogoso also alleged they have in their possession the gate pass for the goods cleared by Gatchalian.

They pointed out that it was for a shipment of 17 containers declared as dredgers but the amount paid was only for 3 containers amounting to P550,000.

The lawyer added this was not the first time Gatchalian was involved in a fraudulent deal.

Gatchalian was also included in the complaint filed by several brokers against the BoC personnel for allegedly engaging in corrupt practices.

He was charged with violating provisions of the Tariff and Customs Code and the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act.

The employees are also calling on President Aquino to investigate the situation at the Customs which is said to be one of the agencies where there is widespread corruption.

They alleged that Gatchalian and the BoC officials committed “undue injury” to the government under the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act.

With this, the DoF officials are asking the Ombudsman to preventively suspend the Customs officials in order not to impede the investigation of the case.

“Administratively, on the basis of the foregoing allegations, we are charging them of dishonesty and grave misconduct. This honorable office must therefore preventively suspend respondents Gatchalian, Agaceta, Elevado, Gorre in order that they may not impede the proper investigation of the case or use their influence and power to threaten witnesses,” the document states.
