A RESOLUTION REQUESTING THOROUGH INVESTIGATION FOR THE OPENING OF THE GATES OF THE JAIL AT BARRETTO POLICE STATION BY WENG QUEJADA


WHEREAS, the Olongapo City Government has painstakingly exerted efforts to maintain peace and order over its territorial jurisdiction;

WHEREAS, the Philippine National Police and the Olongapo City Government have been partners and acted in concert to reduce crime rate and enjoy resident-confidence among its constituents;

WHEREAS, the aforementioned arms of government condemn any act or acts tending to abet or condoning criminal activities in its locality and are staunch advocates of good governance, truth, justice, fair play and respect for dignity of each and every citizen;

WHEREAS, it has been established that an alleged drug pusher en route to the province of Zambales has been apprehended and is detained at the Barretto Police Station headed by its station commander P/Insp. Bolina;

WHEREAS, Representative Milagros Magsaysay suddenly barged into the Barretto Police Station last 18 February 2006, where the said drug pushers were detained, hurling clearly unfounded and baseless accusations, invectives and conjectures against P/Insp Bolina and Olongapo City Police Director Florencio Buentipo;

WHEREAS, Ms. Weng Quejada, a staff of Rep. Magsaysay, who was with the latter, opened the gates of the Jail at the Barretto Police Station thereby giving the detention prisoners a chance/opportunity to egress the said confinements which act is clearly contumacious for a public officer,

NOW, THEREFORE, on motion of Councilor Cynthia G. Cajudo co-sponsored by Councilors Bella P. Asuncion, Marey Beth D. Marzan, Angelina B. Andrada, Brian Patrick H. Gordon, Anselmo A. Aquino, Edwin J. Piano, Gina G. Perez, Napoleon F. Capistrano and Robine Rose C. Buenafe with the majority decision of the Members of the Sangguniang Panlungsod present,


RESOLVED, AS IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED, by the Members of the Sangguniang Panlungsod in session assembled to request, as it hereby requests the Office of the Prosecutor-Olongapo City, Civil Service Commission, Philippine National Police and Department of Interior and Local Government to investigate the matter of impropriety of opening the gates of the jail by Ms. Weng Quejada at the Barretto Police Station.

Let copies of this Resolution be furnished to the President of the Philippines, House of Representatives, Department of Interior and Local Government, Philippine National Police, Civil Service Commission and Office of the City Prosecutor-Olongapo City for their immediate action, information and guidance.
