16-year-old student killed in Baguio buy-bust

BAGUIO CITY – A 16-year-old student was killed alongside a suspected drug pusher during a buy-bust operation in Baguio City last Friday.

The student was identified as Richter Baykin of the Pines City National High School.

Baykin was with Genard "Nash" Palomique, a suspect in the City Anti-Illegal Drug Group's watch list, when policemen held a sting operation in Labsan Street Interior, Barangay Kayang.

Town police chief Senior Supt. George Daskeo said the suspects fired the first gun shot that prompted policemen to retaliate.

"Lumaban sila kasi under threat na sila," Daskeo said, referring to the operatives.

Saludo ako sa mga kapulisan natin. Sa dami nang nanlaban eh ni isa sa kanila wala man lang tinamaan, mala lito lapid ang mga to.

kawawa naman si alan cayetano. for all the humble pie he had to eat as digong's running mate, he's been bypassed by koko pimentel in the race for the senate presidency of w/h he truly lusted for

btw, i didn't know that the former abc 5 talking head cherie mercado has been appointed as the newest spokesperson of the dept of transportation. she was a real morena head turner a decade ago, not that i'm saying that her looks are gone nowadays

Pano ba yung tamang due process sa mga pusher? Kunwari kilalang pusher sa lugar, pwede bang ipakulong yun basta basta? pano kung walang magdedemanda?

Parang yung akyat bahay dito sa amin, pinasok bahay namin early this year, pumasok sa kwarto ng anak kong babae, buti nalang sa kwarto namin natulog nung gabing yon. Mga Laptop lang naman at pera ang nakuha. It could have been worse. Actually it could have been very very bad.

Nung pumunta kami para mag report, dala ang CCTV footage, kilalalang kilala na ng barangay, di lang matuluyan ikulong kasi wala daw nagdedemanda, e pano mo nga naman dedemanda, ang hassle, not to mention baka maresbakan ka pa, lalona kung maliliit na gamit lang. So ilan araw lang sa kulungan papalayain lang daw. Binulungan pa nga ako ng isang tanod dun, sabi sakin, ser basura yan, pag inabot mo yan at may bakal ka, todasin mo na. Langya yun ako pa ang gusto gumawa ng trabaho nila. Natawa nalang ako.

WOW, ganun ata ang tamang proseso.

What if ibang bahay na pasukin sa susunod, at sa kwarto uli ng anak na dalaga. o kaya nakasalubong yung may ari at nagkagulatan, nasaksak o nabaril yun homeowner. Ok lang kaya?

Tapos malalaman mo ilang beses na pala nahuli, pinalalabas lang kasi yun a ng tamang proseso.

parang feeling ko nagbabasa si my president du30 dito sa tsikot, 2 months ago sabiko sana crsckdown siya sa auv express kasi dami nag-pretend may franchise na officials / pultiko. ngaun binabanatan na lahat ng colorum sa edsa

di kaya yun mga generals na name they also have colorum or protectors of these shady businesess. ang napansin ko kasi basta chaotix dun may pera, like colorum, interesection sidewalk vendors, parties with drugs. di kaya yun ang telltale signs to determine who's really profiteering from these activities. illegal activitiesx are hard to trace pag madami tao involved or congested

Pwede ka namang mag demanda kaso ayaw mo dahil hassle lang. What if ibang bahay na pasukin sa susunod? Abay kasalanan mo yan, di ka nag demanda. Kaya ayun wala silang choice kundi pakawalan. Tapos eto ngayon mag hahanap ka ng ibang masisisi.

Sabihin mo kaya sa idol mo na ayosin nya ang justice system. Ayaw, dahil mas madaling patayin na lang. Lagyan ng cardboard, walang imbestigasyon, walang kaso. Tapos.

I have to remind you, that chapter never ends in Davao as the killing continues. Ayaw ug yaga-yaga bay, gi panganak sa Davao ni.

What the hell is a yellow media by the way? Anyone who disagrees with you and your fuhrer?

with all the killings, what's the result? lawlessness in Davao? is it even happening everyday? are there more extra judicial killings in Davao than any other major cities in the Philippines? ikaw ra man ang nagyagayaga dira bay.

Yellow media are ABS CBN, Phil. Daily Inquirer are the names on top of my head right now. Halata naman na pro Aquino sila & will do loads of black propaganda on anyone who are against the Aquino clan. ginagawa pa nga mga santo & santa si Cory & Ninoy.

And let me remind you & everyone else reading this, whether you like it or not, you have to accept that Digong is everyone's "fuhrer".

When I was still in Cebu, he is the same Peter Lim along with his brother (Wellington) who were investigated by then Cong. Cuenco for the proliferation of drugs in Cebu.

are you saying you know who the real Peter Lim is? If so, why won't you have the balls to go to PNP & tell them that the one Digong spoke to was THE Peter Lim they were looking for?

[badkuk]

And let me remind you & everyone else reading this, whether you like it or not, you have to accept that Digong is everyone's "fuhrer".

Please expound on what you mean by this, sir.

Abay ang taas ng crime rate ng Davao. Murder capital pa nga yan dahil weekly may sinasalvage.

Ngayon kumalat na sa buong pinas dahil sa PGong mo.

Wag kang mag sinungaling brod. May data tungkol sa crime rate ng Davao. Di bobo ang mga tao dito.

"Fuhrer"? Hahahaha! No, not everyones'. I will even venture that not even half of those 16 million who voted for du30 will call him their "fuhrer". You will be in the extreme minority if you insist on calling du30 that.

Your blind loyalty does not affect all filipinos. You assume too much.

[ClaNker]

Now regarding Peter Lim. Na imbestigahan na yan before at ang mga witness eh dalawang employee nya. Sinalvage yung dalawang yun.

MEL STA.MARIA | EO on the Freedom of Information: the devil is in the details

InterAksyon.com
The online news portal of TV5

President Rodrigo Duterte has signed the Executive Order (EO) on the Freedom of Information. For many, it is a laudable act, but the rejoicing may be dampened once the EO is implemented. As they say, “the devil is in the details.” A close scrutiny of the EO provides its own causes for ineffectivity.

Section 7 of the Executive Order provides:

Section 7. Protection of Privacy. While providing access to information, public records and official records, responsible officials shall afford full protection to the right to privacy of the individuals as follows:

(a) Each government office per Section 2 shall ensure that personal information in its custody or under its control is disclosed or released only if it is material or relevant to the subject matter of the request and its disclosure is permissible under this order, or existing law, rules or regulations;

The pertinent “existing law”, or at least one of them, in relation to personal information is Republic Act 10173, otherwise known as the Data Privacy Act of 2012. It essentially provides that, as a general rule, the personal information of individuals shall not be revealed and cannot be printed, recorded, used and disseminated by others. This is applicable both to private people and government officials except that, in case of the latter, information can be obtained relating to their positions and functions in the government.

If the disclosure of the personal information has been claimed by any citizen to be important to the country and therefore should be allowed disclosure, a government sub-agency, the National Privacy Commission (NPC), can determine whether the release of the information will be harmful to the public interest or national security. In short, the NPC can control what can and what cannot be revealed, and how small or expansive can be revealed. In effect, the Data Privacy Act limits freedom of thought and information. It also curtails a citizen’s freedom of speech and expression in matters of national concern involving government officials.

And so, pursuant to the unnamed “existing law” ( which inevitably includes the Data Privacy Act of 2012) referred to by the EO, secrecy, not transparency is the governing and general rule when it comes to the private lives of government officials. And this “existing law” can always be used as a scapegoat for non-disclosure by executive officials. It can always say that their hands are tied by the “existing law.”

This is disconcerting for obvious reasons. Government people become corrupt because they put their private interest above the public welfare. While, ostensibly, they will show that their activities serve the people, they may, in fact, be serving their private bank accounts. Let us take for example a public official, X, tasked with handling the transportation mess. He or she orders the change of 15-year old buses contributing to air pollution. The bus companies obey, and order new buses from Y company, a private entity, upon subtle overtures of X because Y company is owned by X’s Family where Z, the brother of X, is X’s corporate-dummy.

Clearly, this scheme creates a serious conflict of interest - the conflict relating to X’s public life as a government official and X’s private life as a transportation mogul. The bus companies consummate their purchases of new buses from Y company hoping for future favorable concessions from X, consequently making Y Company very profitable and also X’s family correspondingly rich. This is corruption in its most scheming form. It is dishonesty.

In matters involving public accountability, the private lives of government officials are not separable from their official public duties. They can be inquired into because their very honesty is a principal consideration for tenure. Thus, our Supreme Court said as early as 1960:

The government cannot tolerate in its service a dishonest official, even if he performs his duties correctly and well, because by reason of his government position, he is given more and ample opportunity to commit acts of dishonesty against his fellow men, even against offices and entities of the government other than the office where he is employed; and by reason of his office, he enjoys and possesses a certain influence and power which renders the victims of his grave misconduct, oppression, and dishonesty less disposed and prepared to resist and to counteract his evil acts and actuations. The private life of an employee cannot be segregated from his public life. Dishonesty inevitably reflects on the fitness of the officer or employee to continue in office and the discipline and morale of the service. (Nera vs. Garcia G.R. No. L-13160 106 Phil 1031)

As a result, under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, the private life of a government official, even if it is important in determining his or her honesty and capability, cannot easily be processed, collected, stored, used or disseminated as a general rule. Worse, penal sanctions can even be imposed for any violation of such privacy. This is one “existing law” which President Duterte’s EO on freedom of information is subordinated to. Significantly, the EO not only refers to “existing law” but also to “rules or regulations” which are still to be researched by the Office of the Solicitor General (OSG) and the Department of Justice (DOJ). Textually, it is a “layered” EO potentially subjected to further limitations and contingencies by other (to be discovered) issuances.

For President Duterte’s EO to be effective, there is a need to amend, if not repeal, Republic Act 10173 otherwise known as the Data Privacy Act of 2012, in so far as government officials are concerned. This is the “existing law” that will effectively negate President Duterte’s move towards transparency. If the President’s policy and legal advisers will not see this, they will be doing the President a great disservice.

I hate to think that this EO is only a window-dressing issued to satisfy the public’s desire for accessing information, but, in reality, a toothless “show-off” useless in effecting the citizen’s freedom of information.

it wasn't me who started throwing the term "fuhrer". you can go ahead & back read rather than skim things through. I'm not sure how you're getting the idea of blind loyalty but it appears that it is you who is assuming too much. What i meant to say that Digong is the president of the Philippines. he is every Filipino's leader, whether you like it or not so unless if you're a foreigner then you can say otherwise.

As far as me being the extreme minority, probably in this forum yes but somewhere else outside this forum, I'm pretty sure there are Pinoy's who are happy on the good changes being implemented. Not all of them mind you but those who are not into anything illegal will be happy anyway.

Wag kang mag sinungaling brod. May data tungkol sa crime rate ng Davao. Di bobo ang mga tao dito.

where's your data then? you're the one saying the killings in Davao are high. it's like you're saying the killings in Davao is the worst in the country.

also, regarding bank statements, I say all elected & appointed government officials are more liable to show all their bank statements & transactions first just so they can prove they are innocent. they have finished their terms & therefore are obligated to prove that they in fact did not steal anything from the public funds allocated for them.

i don't think it's that complicated. if the city or province or the industry where each elected or appointed government official have loads of discrepancies or issues like bad roads, bad drainage, laglag bala issue, that means the budget allocated for that certain project has been corrupted. if there's any doubt on Digong's credibility, it all goes back to the same line, just look at how things are in Davao.

the young kids can commute by themselves without any parent or guardian going to their school. people can withdraw money from ATM's even at night time, women can walk or commute even in the wee hours of the morning without any trepidations of getting raped or robbed. where else in the Philippines can you find this?

it simply means, whatever budget that was allocated for Davao were all utilized properly. i understand that there might be some unjustified killings but i have the impression that most people here put more weight on the killings rather than the thousands & thousands of drug pushers/users who are still alive & given the chance to change.

ClaNker said people are not bobo here so assuming you all have common senses, then why put so much attention & emphasis on the killings of the few hundred rather than the thousands & thousands of people still alive?

i can feel that a lot of people here are still reeling bitter because mar lost. well, like i said, grow up & get it over with already. if you keep it up, it will only mean that you are only loyal to your candidate & not the country.
