agents are protesting the appointment of PNP 'trash' to senior positions ... :armyeek:

Although I do not subscribe to the scheme of employing non-lawyers or accountants to key positions in the NBI, I am just very keen to know why an expletive term 'trash" was used to describe these high ranking policemen who have served the PNP for quite a considerable period of time and with respectable service records. If one of them like Restua has a falsified masters degree, he should be out of the picture and be proven. It is a criminal act and Restua should have been behind bars instead of holding any position with the PNP.

If some elements of the NBI rose up in arms to protest their appointment, it should be done in a more dignified fashion rather than opting to use corrosive words only used by uneducated and non-professional individuals.

If the scheme is allowed by law, they should learn to live with it or initiate to repel the law that allows it. And not pointing their rants to the supposed appointees.

There has always been tension between these two agencies due to the necessary overlapping of jurisdictions. Mrs Arroyo should not have added fuel to the fire. Former police General Lim's appointment was already attended with controversy and much grumbling in the ranks of the agents even if he is a lawyer.

Wycoco's appointment was also met with resistance, but due to the late Director's diplomatic ways, he won over many of the agents. Bulaong's appointment sharply contrasts with this. According to insiders-- read:agents -- Bulaong came in with attitude that turned off many organic personnel. First he immediately showed his ignorance of legal procedure that he apparently did not learn even after years of service in the PNP. Second, he immediately made it known to all that he fully intended to make his stay "profitable" and has been living up to that promise. Third, he treats the agents -- lawyers and accountants-- with condescension and disdain. He is even worse with the investigators. Hence the derisive term "trash."

I am totally blank about the reputations and performance of these police officials.
I only presumed that their service with the PNP is up to scratch and with flying colors and laurels on their caps that could be the basis of their present ranks.

With these information that you have spilled out spell, I would not cast my vote for them to be with the NBI.

With regards to Gen.Lim & Wycoco, even though they were lawyers and on why they encountered hostilities when they were appointed, is obviously because of professional jealousy. The NBI reckoned that since they were policemen, they know too much. The NBI just defended their turf that no outsider would smell a ground in their organization. But nothing they can do because they are also under the mantle of politics. Hence the "trash".

The NBI should be led by someone who has risen from the ranks of the NBI organization itself.

If you put PNP personnel and when cops are implicated in any of the cases being handled by the NBI, the kumpare, mistah, ka-brod, ka-batch, kakilala and kakosa will always influence the NBI's efforts.

IT IS BEST THAT NO PNP OFFICIALS WILL LEAD THE NBI.

This is to ensure that the NBI will serve as an EFFECTIVE check and balance for the PNP's and AFP's actions.

Alam naman natin na may mga PNP officials na sangkot sa maraming tiwaling gawain pati na ang illegal logging.

How can the NBI work effectively when it's being led by someone who's BOUND TO PROTECT HIS PEERS TO THE POINT OF TWISTING THE LAW ITSELF?

If we all want to make the NBI an effective organization, then PROTECT IT FROM PEOPLE WHO LOVES PEDDLING INFLUENCE FOR CASH or for PAYING BACK "UTANG NA LOOB" and that ka-brod, ka-mistah bullshi-t.

If it is allowed by the system, cops who are not lawyers should not be with the NBI except on DS (detach service). The appointment should be based on merits and not on politics. As we can see, hardcore loyalists were appointed in positions which they are completely strange and ignorant of - thus causing mayhem.

Sir Topp, Gen. Wycoco was not a lawyer, hence the hostility -- albeit temporary.

Even without the recylced cops blundering into the NBI, the agency needs some serious shake-up. The threat by the agents' association to "spill the beans" on politicians who have used them, is disturbing to the say the least.

This is direct admission of the politization of the once proud law enforcement agency. This admits of complicity in the oppression of political enemies using the law enforcement and the judicial system.

I have on more than one occasion had to defend victims of such operations. The toll it takes on the oppressed is terrible. This administration is replete with such incidents. Does anyone remember one of GMA's State of the Nation address where she mentions a prosecutor and an NBI agent by name as alleged coddlers? As it turns out the prosecutor and the agent were completely innocent of the charges and were in fact targetted by certain political interests for doing their jobs too well. But GMA never issued an apology.

What about Esperon's coup scenario where he had four former Scout Rangers arrested for illegal possession? The witnesses said that there were never any guns. But they are undergoing trial anyway. Experon is on his way out as CS, but the soldiers' cases continue and two are still detained.

What about the bank employee allegedly charged with money laundering when actually she was the whistle blower? Its was GMA herself who presented the banke emplyee to the media. When the mistake was realized, despite the administration's best efforts to cover it up, GMA acted as though nothing had happened.

The admission of the agents means that we are indeed led by a " criminal syndicate masquerading as government."

Is it really a requirement that only lawyers or accountants can join the NBI?

Or the lawyer agents are just being elitist and cannot accept the fact that non-lawyers are also capable law enforcers.

:armycool:

Well said spell, it paints a clear picture that the rot of this government emanates from the top. The NBI is under the justice department with some of its members are in tandem with some corrupt members of the bench who debased the judicial cannons befitting as sound legal arbiters who dispenses justice in a malfeasant way.

Sorry & thank you for the correction spell. I thought he was the same Wycoco who was the former NBI Regional Director of NBI Region 10 based in Cagayan de Oro years back who was a lawyer.

My further research revealed that he (former NBI Chief Wycoco) was a graduate from the PMA class'68, while Pet Bulaong is one of the pioner graduates of the PNPA.

Can't blame the agents who protested. But they have their own " trash" too.
Fair enough that their own trash will not be supplemented with another bunch of trash.

NBI agents must be lawyers or accountants. The highest rank you can achieve as an accountant is deputy regional director, the highest positions are reserved for lawyers. The director of the NBI is required to be a lawyer.

Non-lawyers and non-accountants who enter the NBI are not called agents but become special investigators. The highest rank they can achieve is Executive Officer of a regional office or unit.
