CEBU, Philippines - A policeman was arrested for allegedly robbing and punching a Japanese national in Barangay Pajo, Lapu-Lapu City last Friday night while another policeman in Sibonga town is now under investigation after several people were hurt in a shootout. In Lapu-Lapu City, PO2 Bruce Taneo reportedly pointed a gun at Masami Kon, handcuffed him and took his wallet. He later returned the wallet but part of the cash was allegedly missing. Inspector Stephen Amamag-id, chief of the Basak Police Station of the Mandaue City Police Office, where Taneo is assigned, told The FREEMAN that Taneo was off-duty at the time of the incident. Kon, 48, was driving a brown Toyota Revo with license plate numbers GPA-759 along Maximo Patalinghug Avenue around 11 p.m. when he sideswiped a certain Maria Elena Pag-usara who was walking along the road with her friend Mary Jane Dungog. Kon, from Saitama, Japan, temporarily residing in Nivel Hills, Barangay Lahug, Cebu City, was then on his way to the Mactan Export Processing Zone 2 where he worked at the Shim Cebu Metal Plating Corp. He disembarked from his car to check on Pag-usara when a man on a blue motorcycle, later identified as Taneo, approached them. Taneo was wearing the upper part of official PNP field uniform, a camouflage tunic with PNP patches. Amamag-id said, based on the victim’s account, Taneo then pointed a gun at Kon and handcuffed him. Taneo also “forcibly took” his wallet which contained P12,000, his driver’s license, company ID card and other assorted cards. The policeman also allegedly punched Kon several times and detached the rear plate number of his car before leaving the place. Kon reported the matter to the Lapu-Lapu City Police Office. The two women, who served as witnesses to the incident, backed up Kon’s statement; Pag-usara had not been injured as a result of the earlier sideswiping incident. Policemen failed to find Taneo in his house in Barangay Gun-ob, Lapu-Lapu City, but his neighbors said he had been wearing the upper part of his field uniform last they saw him. Amamag-id said Taneo appeared at the LLCPO around 12:30 a.m. and brought with him the wallet, but it contained only P2,650 cash. The police arrested and detained him while a charge for robbery is now being filed against him. Amamag-id said Taneo was apparently drunk when he went to the station. They are now also conducting their own investigation for the administrative aspect of Taneo’s case. MCPO director Noel Gillamac, based on information he received from LLCPO director Anthony Obenza, said the suspect was already being monitored because of his alleged illegal drug activities in Lapu-Lapu City. The suspect said he did not rob the victim, but only confiscated his driver’s license because of the traffic accident. here is the article in full, it can be helpful if its posted not just the link,:th_goodidea: Edited May 15, 2011 by ed villas
