Policemen pilfer gasoline coupons

Millions of pesos worth of fuel coupons are pilfered by police officers, with the blessing of their superiors, and are distributed to civilians, a source in Camp Crame, the Philippine National Police headquarters, told The Manila Times.

The coupons are supposedly issued exclusively to police officers on official missions. But the source, a logistics officer who did not want to be identified, said hundreds of the coupons are “virtually” lost every month because they are issued to individuals who are not police officers or personnel for free.
