CEBU City: Mayor Tomas Osmeña will not be endorsing
police officials who are Philippine Military Academy (PMA) graduates
for Cebu City Police Office’s (CPPO) top post.
“PMAers have an elitist
attitude in the Philippine National Police. They don’t give a
chance to new policemen,” he explained.
Though Osmeña did not
categorically say he would pick Senior Supt. Patronicio Comendador
as CCPO director, the policeman is already a shoo-in because of his
outstanding record and being a non-PMA graduate.
The mayor said he prefers
Cebuanos and non-PMA graduates, and Comendador satisfies both
requirements.
“Many qualified policemen are
not given proper assignments because they don’t have the
connections,” he said.
Another reason he prefers non-PMA
officers is that military work, on which the PMA graduates are
trained, is different from police work.
