Here is another issue about police "kotong". You can just imagine they are high ranking officials yet they risked their lofty salaries and retirement benefits in exchange of P5,000 pesos. What kind of behavior these police colonels have?
Just recently, two senior police officers of the Philippine National Police are facing dismissal from the service after a plane passenger from Isabela province complained against them for alleged grave misconduct and extortion. The suspects are Senior Superintendent (Col.) Amador Hernandez and Superintendent (Lt. Col.) Eulogio Lovello Fabro. They are both assigned to the Aviation Security Group at the Diosdado Macapagal International Airport in Clark, Pampanga.
The complainant identified as Mary Ann Delgado asked help to Isabela Vice-Governor Rodito Albano which the latter brought the issue to Hon. Jesse Robredo, secretary of DILG and chairman of NAPOLCOM.
Ms. Delgado was about to board a flight for Singapore when the incident happened.

For further details about the validity of the case, here is a portion of the article released by DILG on Nov. 16, 2011.
