What will they think of next, a King-size Bed Reward system?... :demon:

PNP drafting ‘blanket reward system’ to solve media killings

full story

This blanket reward system is a joke. It tells us that the law enforcers have lost their wit and capabilities to prevent and solve crimes and somehow their sworn enthusiasm seems to be adrift.

It is totally embarrassing and appalling to resort to a bid called "reward" as a tool in crimebustinig. It is a clear indication of hopelessness and incapability of doing a task they were sworn to perform. In this regard the criminals always win.

P15-million reward up for arrest information on Joma, Ka Roger
By Cecille Suerte Felipe Updated May 07, 2009 12:00 AM

MANILA, Philippines – The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) has put up a P15-million reward for the arrest of Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) chairman Jose Maria Sison and New People’s Army (NPA) spokesman Gregorio “Ka Roger” Rosal.

At the same time, the DILG approved an P18-million reward for any information that could lead to the arrest of 20 suspects in media killings.

It was not clear why a bounty is being put up for Sison, who is seeking political asylum in the Netherlands. The Dutch have refused to send him back.

With the reward, the Philippine National Police (PNP) announced that it would release to the public tomorrow the pictures of persons wanted for their alleged involvement in the killing of journalists.

PNP spokesman Chief Superintendent Nicanor Bartolome said Sison carries a P10-million reward, while [/b]Rosal has a P5-million bounty on his head[/b]. Both are wanted for the killing of journalist Nelson Nadura of radio dwME in Masbate in December 2003.

Bartolome said the PNP welcomes the reward for these wanted persons.

“We are confident the reward offer will encourage the public to report to authorities and hasten the arrest of these wanted persons,” Bartolome said.

The PNP spokesman said another P3.235 million is expected to be released soon for the reward system for 19 other wanted persons involved in the killing of militant personalities.

Bartolome said the P18 million and P3.235 million are separate from the P25-million fund President Arroyo had announced to pay informants in a bid to end the wave of political killings in the country.

The reward system is among the measures initiated by the PNP in response to the order of the President to immediately solve cases involving working journalists and militant personalities.

Mrs. Arroyo said the fund would go to those who “provide information that foils political assassination attempts or leads to their solution, especially the identification of their masterminds.”

The President urged lawmakers to contribute P250,000 each from their pork barrel funds to boost the reward fund.

Hmmm... for Ka Roger it is understandable, but for JOMA? Was that Ara Mina who was shown having a duet with him in a party?

Arrest of more criminals expected with decentralized reward system
By Non Alquitran Updated May 04, 2009 12:00 AM

MANILA, Philippines - The Philippine National Police (PNP) is hoping that the decentralization of its reward system would bring more wanted criminals behind bars.

Director Eugene Martin, head of the PNP’s directorate for intelligence, said police regional directors were given the task of handing out rewards to informants.

“To rid informants of the hassles and high cost of traveling to Camp Crame to get their rewards, we made life easier for them by designating the police regional directors as the ones doing the task,” said Martin in an interview.

The past two weeks, Cordillera police director Chief Superintendent Orlando Pestano handed out rewards to three informants who helped the police solve the killing of Indonesian priest Fr. Franciscus Madhu and arrest the suspects in the multiple rapes of two teenagers and a murder case.

Pestano handed out P90,000 to Madhu’s case informant Ryan Gayao Benigno, P200,000 for Denver de la Cruz and another P90,000 for Joey Magno.

Martin said the reward to informants is one of the priority programs of PNP chief Director General Jesus Verzosa, and approved by Interior Secretary Ronaldo Puno.

Bill pushes for reward system funding from DOJ, not pork barrel

GMANews.TV - Friday, May 8

MANILA, Philippines - A lawmaker on Thursday sought the creation of a reward system for informants on political killings - but the proposed funding will come from the Department of Justice (DOJ), and not from lawmakers' pork barrel allocations.

Muntinlupa City Rep. Rozzano Rufino Biazon said he filed House Bill 6304 to establish the guidelines on how rewards for those who provide information on political killings will be disbursed.

Biazon's proposal comes in contrast with President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo's earlier invitation for lawmakers to contribute P250,000 each from their priority development assistance fund (PDAF) or pork barrel to a P25-million reward system for informants.

"While welcoming President Arroyo's condemnation of political killings in her State of the Nation Address to Congress in July 2006, her reported instructions to Cabinet officials to put an end to further killings, the establishment of a special police investigative task force, and her very recent announcement calling for the establishment of a fund to pay informants in a bid to end the wave of political killings in the country, additional and more determined steps are deemed essential," Biazon said in the bill's explanatory note.

Biazon had earlier described President Arroyo's suggestion that lawmakers contribute part of their pork barrel to the P25-million reward fund "ill-advised," saying reward money is not included in the General Appropriations Act's authorized expenditures for the PDAF.

Biazon's bill tasks the DOJ to provide and disburse rewards not exceeding P10 million to informants, provided that every reward amounting to P500,000 or more gets the written approval of the President.

To be granted rewards are individuals who furnish information leading to:

- the arrest or conviction of any person or persons who ordered or conspired to kill anyone for political reasons;

- the prevention, frustration, or favorable resolution of any political killing; and

- the prevention of entry into the Philippines of any person or persons known or suspected to involved in political killings.

Under the bill, no government official or employee who provides information on a political killing will be eligible for a reward if he or she does so in the performance of his or her official duties.

A fine of not more than P500,000 or imprisonment of not less than six months also awaits any person who provides false or misleading information just to avail of the reward. - Johanna Camille Sisante, GMANews.TV
