Temporary or permanent disqualification should be included among the penalties for public officials or government employees who refuse to comply with a removal order, Sen. Francis Escudero said. | FArgosinoINQ
According to Dumanjug, he was “forcibly” removed from the Mayor’s Office of Bonifacio, Misamis Occidental, by the Philippine National Police and unknown persons last June 16.
He claimed that the force physically broke the windows of his office; disarmed and ordered his police escort to lie face-down on the floor; aimed high-powered firearms at him; forced him to a wheelchair, and bounded his hands and feet to the said wheelchair; wrapped his head with a malong ; and boarded him in an ambulance.
Escudero said these incidents could have been prevented if only the town’s police chief “acted immediately, instead of taking the side of the suspended mayor.” He likewise said that the police force “should not shrink from its duty to enforce the law as well as legal orders simply because it is politically charged.”
“Not to mention the unnecessary requirement in the PNP manual of getting the chief PNP’s approval in executing/implementing such orders, especially when the DILG itself has already recognized the mayor’s suspension,” he added.
