The Philippine National Police regional office in Ilocos has ordered the Pangasinan Provincial Police Office to validate reports that some police officers allegedly harassed a widowed farmer who testified in a Senate probe on the skyrocketing price of onion.Police Brig. Gen. John Chua, Ilocos Police Regional Office director, directed the Pangasinan PPO headed by Police Col. Jeff Fanged to look into the claims of Merlita Gallardo, an onion farmer.
Fanged said that investigators coordinated with Gallardo where she told them that their family was “humiliated” for their failure to pay a debt amounting to P500,000. They also accumulated financial loss amounting to P1.7 million which was used as capital for onion farming. Gallardo appeared before the Senate agriculture, food, and agrarian reform committee last Monday as part of an investigation on the effects of the high price of onion, which included the reported suicide of five onion farmers including her husband.
