I
asked a chief of police of a burgeoning first class town how much the lowly
policeman, a P01 or Police Officer-1, receives monthly.
“Mga P19,000,”
he retorted.

told him about powerful Mexican drug cartels Tijuana, Los Zetas (whose founding members
were Mexican Special Forces trained at Fort Benning in USA) and Sinaloa bribing
with huge amount of monies high government and police officials in Mexico.
“Is it possible that a big time drug pusher
asked the P01 or those higher in ranks with him to turn the other cheek
whenever they see drug pushers, under the watch of this big
time seller, hawking the illegal
commodity in the street by giving them P50,000 each a month?,” I
posed.
