C. Luzon media to declare police chief persona non grata?
C. Luzon media to declare police chief persona non grata?
By Marna H. Dagumboy - SunStar
CAMP OLIVAS – An official of the Camp Olivas Press Society (Cops) said Friday the group is contemplating on filing a resolution Monday declaring Police Regional Director Errol T. Pan as "persona non grata".
This came in the heels of reports that the general – who failed to attend a fellowship night with the media which he himself had scheduled last Tuesday – had indeed arrived that same night, but went straight to his quarters and slept.
Media personalities from the six provinces in Central Luzon were dismayed upon hearing the report.
As of Saturday, members of the Cops are still collating information from other sources inside the camp to verify if the police general indeed took a rest after arriving that night.
"We're wondering if he did it on purpose. There were media people waiting in front of the Officer's Club House who saw his entourage arrive. The regional director's quarters is just located at the back of the club house," Ric Sapnu of the Philippine Star said.
This was in contrast to the statement of Pan's public information officer, who told members of the media that the police general could not make it to the fellowship because he was still in Zambales.
Sapnu said many generals have been assigned to Camp Olivas but all of them were friendly, especially to media people.
Mar Supnad of Manila Bulletin said the police general had no respect for the media. "Dapat may isang salita siya ma dapat panghawakan ng isang heneral ng pulisiya. First of all, we did not ask for the said fellowship. It was
him who scheduled it," he said.
