A Chinese woman was nabbed by the authorities for her disrespectful behavior to a police officer who informed her about the rules against carrying liquid to MRT-3 stations.

According to the initial report provided by the authorities, around 8:30 AM, a Chinese National named Ms. Jialz Zhang Nepumuceno, 42 years old threw a cup of Taho to Police Officer 1 William Cristobal when she stopped from entering the MRT station for carrying liquid.

The police asked Nepumuceno to consume her liquid first before entering the station, however, Zhang started to confront the uniformed personnel and refused to follow the rules.

Zhang instead of following the cop, threw the taho she carried to the officer which stained his uniform.

The incident prompted Cristobal and PO1 Dominador Olempiada to arrest the suspect for disobedience to an agent or person in authority and direct assault and bring her to the Police Community Precinct 5 in Mandaluyong.

The suspect has undergone booking procedures prior to inquest proceedings for the case of direct assault and disobedience to an agent of authority.

NCRPO Chief Guillermo Eleazar also went to the station to personally visit the Chinese national to remind her to respect the uniformed personnel.

“Do you know that we are just implementing this kind of policies for your protection?” Eleazar told the Chinese National.

Eleazar said he recommended the strict implementation of the “No Foods, No Drinks Allowed” policy at the LRT and MRT as a preventive measure against any terror attack using liquid bombs.

The ban on bringing of liquid items inside the train stations’ premises was enforced in the wake of the January 27 twin blasts in Jolo, Sulu.

Department of Transportation (DOTr) also urged the people to follow the strict rules of MRT-3, saying that it’s for their security.

It’s not yet known if the Chinese National is qualified to be deported for her infamous actions.

A case of a girl who allegedly abducted by alleged organ collectors several days ago was discovered to be lying in the story that she shared on social media.

On a viral Facebook post, Lace JC shared his final conversation with the girl who’s identified as Ica Perlado, a resident of Trece Martires City in Cavite showing how the latter asked him to help her.

“Mal tulungan mo ko may sumusunod sakin na lalake pa lowbat nako nasa trece ako natatakot ako, di ko alam gagawin ko,” Perlado told her friend on messenger.

Despite being abducted as Perlado claimed, she still can use her phone and messaged her friend, saying that she’s hiding inside a wardrobe seeing other people who got captured by the unidentified group of men.

Perlado was rescued showing her wounds to prove her claim that the people who abducted her wanted to get her kidney.

The post of Lace caused an alarm to many residents of Cavite, which again sparked the ‘kidnap for organ’ rumors on social media.

However, the authorities who rescued Perlado found that the latter was lying on her story.

According to Trece Martires PNP, they discovered in a CCTV footage that Perlado went with her friends to a shopping mall, after that she went alone to Amadeo by using public transportation.

“Nagpunta sila ng waltermart para mag videoke around 3 P.M, then after non mga 5pm lumabas na sila ng walter, hinatid na siya noong dalawang classmate niya sa sakayan ng bus.” PO2 Maria Pamela De Guzman said.

“Yung sinakyan niyang jeep, palabas ng trece,” she added.

The footage belied Perlado’s claim that a group of men forcefully brought her to another place.

In the end, Perlado admitted that she only tried to leave her family for good because of personal problems.

According to her, she’s already not going to school without the knowledge of her parents.

Perlado added that she’s holding a grudge to her parents for not giving the material things that she wanted.

“Hindi lang maibigay nung mga magulang niya yung mga material na bagay na hinihingi niya, nakikita niya sa mga kaibigan niya at napapagalitan daw siya ng mga magulang niya,” De Guzman said.

She also admitted that the wounds that she showed on social media are only self-inflicted to convince the people in her story.

A journalist confirmed that the story of Perlado was made up and urged the people not to stop sharing a post that might cause panic.

“The case was considered “dropped and closed” because the victim admitted that her wounds were self-inflicted and she just made the whole story up.” she said.

As of now, Perlado went to a counseling together with her family to solve her problem.

The PNP-Trece also reminded the other netizens that no parents want something bad to happen to their children.

A cop from Police Regional Office (Central Visayas) chose to lose his job forever than being assign to Mindanao.

On February 1, Police Officer (PO3) Karl Belandres Osorio resigned from the Philippine National Police (PNP) after he was informed that he’s part of the augmentation force consisted of 300 cops in Lanao Del Norte that will guard the safety of the Bangsamoro Organic Law (BOL) plebiscite.

The news was confirmed by PRO-7 Director Debold Sinas on February 6, saying that he quickly approved the resignation than insisting the cop to be assigned to Mindanao.

According to Sinas, he didn’t hesitate to accept the resignation of Osorio because he already saw that the latter already not willing to obey the orders of the PNP.

“We conducted an accounting of our troops’ movement, he refused to join,” Sinas said.

“We have to remind our policemen that this is part of our job. We assured our police in PRO-7 to give them updates of their colleagues,” he added.

Sinas also said that what Osorio did has affected the morale of his other personnel.

Despite what Osorio did, Sinas still gave the benefits of the cop like his unused leave credits.

Osorio, a native of Dalaguete, Cebu, is a member of the Regional Mobile Force Battalion – Central Visayas.

Despite some troubles happened before the referendum in Lanao Del Norte, the team where Osorio was supposedly part of, were safe and conducted their mission very well.

PRO-7 didn’t disclose the reason why Osorio doesn’t want to set his foot to Mindanao.

During the Duterte administration, deployment to Mindanao is considered a punishment for some cops.

He even sent 200 errant police officers to ARMM which considered as one one of the dangerous areas in Mindanao.

Being a volunteer for the rehabilitation of Manila Bay is not as easy as what some people think after Manila City government reminded that they need to get a permit first before helping to bring back the beauty of the said tourist spot.

In a post on February 4, Atty. Trixie-Cruz Angeles posted a screenshot of a message from her fan, informing that Manila City government asked them to pay for a permit so they can participate in the Manila Bay cleanup.

The informant is a member of a big bike group who wanted to help the government in cleaning the tourist spot.

“May nagsabi po kasi na required po mag bayad ng permit bago po magvolunteer sa clean up po. I have a pic po of my convo with one of the dragon boat rider who is a cyclists po.” the informant said.

“Ang naniningil po ay yung manila municipality,” he added.

A day after the post, the City government of Manila confirmed the reports that they’re asking groups to get a permit first, however they denied that they asking for money.

They said that volunteers need to cooperate with the City government first so they can arrange a schedule on when they’re going to Manila Bay.

“We are not asking for any fee. What we are trying to do here is for these interested groups to coordinate with the city hall so that we can arrange the schedule. We cannot just allow groups to go there because it would attract so many people. What we ask is for them to secure a permit for their activities,” City administrator Erickson Alcovendaz said.

Meanwhile, Bambi Purisima, media information officer of Manila labeled the story circulating on social media as ‘fake news’ to give a bad impression on President Rodrigo Duterte’s project to bring back the beauty of Manila Bay.

However, some netizens are not convinced by the explanation of the Manila City Government and started to criticize it’s Mayor on social media.

“Ano na naman ‘tong pakulo mo Mayor? Nag-volunteer na nga para maglinis ng Manila Bay tapos papahirapan mo pang pakuhain ng permit mula sa City Hall?!” the page Gising Maynila wrote.

“Wala ka talagang magawang matino noh. Hindi ka na nga nakakatulong, nanggugulo ka pa para magkaroon ka lang ng ‘publicity’.” it added.

“Kung GUSTO ko maglinis VOLUNTARILY doon sa Manila Bay,wag niyo akong utusan kung anong araw maglilinis. Ibang usapan na yun!” Ramon Duterte said in his Facebook post.

A man has been punished for throwing a little piece of plastic along Manila Bay amid the rehabilitation efforts made by the government to bring back the beauty of the said tourist spot.
