Death by interrogation

“Reasonable force” and “judicious use of force” were terms used in reference to police and other law enforcement authorities in dealing with criminal elements and protestors crossing the picket line and these terms come to mind in the shoplifting case that resulted in the death of one Mario Alfie Ducayag.

The family plans to file charges against those responsible for his death and are said to be including the management of Gaisano Metro Colon for failing to avert his death apparently at the hands of security officers who don’t think much about, nor even have a concept of what “reasonable force is.”

Closed circuit TV camera operator Jeffrey Aquino, who was supposed to be facing charges filed by the police for Ducayag’s death, gave a bird’s eye view of what goes on between security officers and shoplifting suspects and it isn’t pretty.

He says security officers may be compelled to rough-house or beat up shoplifting suspects because of their resistance to arrest which usually turns violent and ugly. And admittedly there are criminal elements who would even kill those out to arrest them if only to get away with their stolen loot.

The mall’s lawyer said video footage showed that Ducayag slipped an object inside a plastic bag while heading to the elevator. But he also hastened to add that it doesn’t justify how security officers, particularly Mauricio Doblados, handled Ducayag which was patently illegal and criminal.

Store policy dictated that shoplifting suspects like Ducayag should have been turned over to the nearest police precinct 30 minutes after he was apprehended but the mall’s security officers like Doblados appeared unsatisfied and felt he should have admitted to stealing right there and then.

For Doblados that meant punching Ducayag three times on the chest with full force and hitting him with an electric cord even if he was lying unconscious on the floor.

A seeming coverup attempt that would make Aquino the fall guy was backed with an autopsy finding by the police that contradicted another autopsy done by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) that showed Ducayag died of traumatic injuries, a finding which Ducayag’s family is using as basis to file criminal charges against the perpetrators.

Even if it was too late to prevent Ducayag’s death, the store’s decision to install a security camera inside the interrogation room should deter security officers like Doblados from manhandling shoplifting suspects.

It’s up to Ducayag’s family if they would file charges against the management for its failure to secure his safety even if he may be guilty of shoplifting. We hope the management does right by them and require their security officers to be more humane in the truest sense of the word in dealing with shoplifting suspects.

We also question why the police was so eager to pin down Aquino at the expense of letting the truly guilty parties get away with bloody murder. Connivance or gross incompetence? Anyone following this case can draw their own conclusion.

At any rate, we hope that they and the NBI get to the bottom of the case and bring the murderers of Ducayag to justice.

Security guard shows up, clears name
Cebu Daily News
7:30 am | Thursday, May 16th, 2013

The former security camera operator of Gaisano Metro Colon on Tuesday appeared before the National Bureau of Investigation in Central Visayas (NBI) to clear his name from accusations that he was behind the death of suspected shoplifter Mario Alfie Ducayag.

Jeffrey Aquino narrated to NBI agent Bernard dela Cruz what he saw inside the department store’s security room where Ducayag was allegedly mauled last April 12.

Aquino was accompanied by his lawyer Salvador Solima,

NBI-7 director Antonio Pagatpat said Aquino executed a sworn statement before Dela Cruz.

“We will verify everything that Aquino said. We have to find out whether or not his claims were faithful to the other evidence that we have,” Pagatpat told reporters yesterday.

He said asking Aquino to undergo a polygraph test is being considered.

“We have narrowed down the number of suspects which we identified. But I’m not at liberty to mention who were involved in the crime,” Pagatpat said.

Aquino earlier insisted that he is innocent of the crime. He claimed that it was the store’s chief security officer, Mauricio Doblados Jr., who mauled Ducayag after he failed to show a receipt for a pair of sandals he allegedly stashed in his bag.

Aquino, a native of Pinamungajan town, western Cebu was willing to tell everything and prove his innocence.

But Doblados and the other security officers of Gaisano Metro Colon accused Aquino of killing Ducayag.

Pagatpat said Doblados also went the to the NBI to relay whatever he saw when Ducayag was mauled.

“We’re working on this case,” he said,

Ducayag was arrested by the store’s security guards after he was allegedly spotted slipping a pair of sandals in a shopping bag and was intercepted as he stepped out of the store.

He was taken to the security office after he allegedly failed to produce a receipt for the sandals. Ducayag was rushed to the hospital minutes after his arrest and was declared dead.

Ducayag’s family sought the help of the NBI as they suspect that there was a whitewash on the probe done by the police. /REPORTER ADOR VINCENT S. MAYOL

Philippines man killed by store security for alleged theft of sandals - World Socialist Web Site (World Socialist Web Site)

Philippines man killed by store security for alleged theft of sandals
By Dante Pastrana
18 May 2013
On April 12, 23-year-old Mario Ducayag was killed by store security guards in the Philippines city of Cebu, after being accused of stealing a pair of sandals that cost less than a thousand pesos ($US25).
A secondary school graduate, Ducayag was unemployed and had two children, one of them three years old, to support. Like millions of Filipinos confronting the bleak choice of long-term unemployment or taking a poverty wage job, Ducayag instead resorted to leaving his family to seek work overseas. According to a report in the Sun Star, he had enrolled in a housekeeping course in February to prepare to apply with an agency as a migrant worker.
Ducayag was shopping at Metro Gaisano-Colon, the largest department store in downtown Cebu City, where he bought infant milk formula, diapers, biscuits, and a pair of sandals. Ducayag apparently lost the receipt for the sandals. When he went to the cashier’s counter to request a copy, he was accused of attempting to steal the sandals. According to the Sun Star, a store supervisor called in store security and Ducayag was brought to the security office for interrogation.
Ducayag reportedly denied the accusation, and was then beaten by the store’s security personnel in an effort to extract a confession. Thirty minutes later, Ducayag was brought out of the security office and rushed to a hospital where he was declared dead on arrival.
From the beginning, the department store security and the police sought to cover up the case. Police authorities told the press that Ducayag had been accused in other cases of shoplifting. The police regional medico-legal officer stated in his report that Ducayag had died because of “asphyxia due to pulmonary tuberculosis”—in other words, a pre-existing medical condition, and not the security guards’ assault, was responsible.
This joint cover-up is not at all surprising. Security agencies and the Philippine police have an almost incestuous relationship. Security agencies are run, owned and manned by retired police officers or have active duty high-ranking officers as silent partners. Big businesses invariably appoint or hire retired military or police generals as their overall heads of security.
The persistent efforts of Ducayag’s family, and the support of a local tabloid news radio station, provoked the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) to conduct a second autopsy on the victim, twelve days after his death. Manned largely by civilian lawyers, the NBI is an institutional rival of the police and the military authorities. It is often deployed by the state to provide the façade of an alternative to the ruthlessness of the other state security agencies.
The NBI autopsy revealed that Ducayag’s cervical vertebrae were dislocated and he had bruises in his palms, right shoulder, chest and back. In addition, his lungs had congestion and bruises. His left lung had collapsed. The NBI autopsy concluded that Ducayag had died because of “traumatic neck injuries”. He had been beaten to death.
Ducayag was buried last month, attended by his family and a number of sympathisers.
Following the NBI autopsy, the department security personnel responsible for the killing have apparently fallen out with each other, each filing affidavits accusing the others of responsibility. However, neither the police nor the NBI has filed a single case against any suspect. The Ducayag family has filed a number of complaints against the medico-legal officer for his allegedly false autopsy report.
The murder of Ducayag is an expression of the appalling social, economic and political conditions confronting workers in the Philippines.
Last month, the government of President Aquino admitted that despite last year’s 6.8 percent economic expansion, poverty was officially estimated at 27.9 percent of the population. The rate of subsistence, or those regarded as being in extreme poverty, was estimated at 10 percent. This month, the Social Weather Station estimated that 25.4 percent of those aged 18 and above were unemployed.
Despite this mass unemployment and poverty, personal consumption accounts for more than 70 percent of the Philippine economy. This consumption is above all fuelled by the huge discretionary income of the top 10 percent of all families in the country, which control more than 35 percent of total income. The remittances of overseas contract workers, which amount to well over US$20 billion dollars a year, are almost entirely spent on the basic needs of their families back home and thus fund another significant portion of domestic consumption.
Retail sales are ratcheted up by various predatory instalment plans, personal loans, and other microcredit schemes that charge interest rates of up to 30 percent a year. The retail sector also rests upon the super exploitation of store workers and sales personnel.
The largest and most profitable mall and department store chain in the country, the SM Group, is owned by Henry Sy, the wealthiest man in the Philippines, and his family, which has a net worth of over US$13.5 billion dollars. One son, Harly Sy, head of the family’s investment arm, earns a monthly compensation of over PHP 700,000 pesos (US$17,000) a month. Hans Sy, another son, who heads the shopping mall operations, earns a monthly income of over PHP 400,000 pesos.
In sharp contrast, a saleswoman employed in one of the SM Group’s 46 shopping malls in the Philippines almost always has her employment limited to a five-month contract, allowing the company to avoid legal obligations to award her a permanent position. Sales staff earn no more than PHP 8,000 ($US200) a month. If she is a part-time worker, working for 4 hours a day, seven days a week, she will earn less than half of that.
These malls and department stores operate under tense social conditions generated by extreme social inequality. Millions of working class and young people flock to these retail outlets every day to enjoy the air conditioning, to watch the free mall-sponsored variety shows featuring scantily clad third-tier celebrities sing and dance, and if they are fortunate, eat some cheap fast food. For the vast majority, the wealth of commodities that stock the shelves and fill the window displays are simply to be looked at. These items cannot be afforded.
Under these conditions, the security personnel’s brutality is deliberately encouraged by management and the heads of the security companies. The cost of any theft is deducted from the wages of the low ranking security guards—making every window shopper seen as a potential threat to the guards’ own precarious position.

Gihimakak mismo ni NBI-7 Regional Director Atty Antonio Pagatpat ang taho nga matud pa i-BAN ang Bombo Cebu sa maong ahensya tungod sa pagpunay niini ug hisgut sa kahanginan kabahin na sa kalangay sa imbistigasyun sa kamatayun ni Mario Alfie Ducayag, ang biktima sa pagpangulata patay sa mga C.I sa Gaisano Metro. Gani iyang gihimug-atan nga dili niya kuntra ang Bombo Radyo gani agig pagmatuod nnini iyang gipanghambug nga katambayayung ang Bombo Radyo Tacloban sa dihang didto pa siya nadestino.

Gipasalig usab sa labing dakong opisyal sa NBI-7 nga sulod sa duha ka semana gikan niining pagsuwat hingpit nang mapasakaan ug kaso ang mga mamumuno apan midumili siya sa pagtug-an kung kinsa ang mga mag-atubang ug kaso sanglit dili pa nila matumbok kay tungod nagpadayun pa ilang halawum nga imbistigasyun.

Sa nahilambigit nga balita, nag-alburuto sa kasuko si Atty Bernard de la Cruz ug nagsyagit syagit kini gawas sa buhatan sa NBI-7 samtang nangita ug reporter sa Bombo Radyo Cebu tungod kay matud pa niya gipasanginlan siya sa mga komentarista sa Bombo Radyo Cebu nga kurakot ug midawat ug subre gikan sa gaisano metro hinungdan nga gituyo niya ug langay ang dagan sa imbistigasyun maong kaso. Butang nga hugot usab nga gihimakak sa mga komentarista kay lage igo ra man gayud silang nangutana kung nganung nalangay ang dagan sa imbistigasyun nga usa naman ka buwan ang nilabay, nganung magpunay man ug adto ang imbistigador sa NBI-7 ngadto sa Gaisano Metro ug nganung dili naman siya ganahan nga muhatag ug impormasyun ug kalamboan sa gihimung imbistigasyun. Mga pangutana nga hangtud karun wala pay klarung tubag ang maong abugado.

Pangutana? Sayup ba diay ang gihimo sa Bombo Radyo Cebu nga buot lang mangutana kung unsa nay dagan sa maong kaso? Sayup ba diay ang gihimo niini nga pagpahibaw sa mga katawhan ang mga impormasyun may labot na sa kamatayun ni Mario Alfie Ducayag? Lawum ba gayud kaha ang pagsabot ni Atty Bernard De La Cruz sa Freedom of the Press ug Right to Information(Art III, Sec 4 and Sec 7 Phil Constitution).

NBI to close probe on ‘mauling’ of student with mom’s affidavit
By Kevin A. Lagunda

Monday, May 20, 2013

“ALMOST done.”

This was how National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) 7 Director Antonio Pagatpat described their investigation on the death of shopper Mario Alfie Ducayag inside Metro Gaisano Colon.

He said they still need the affidavit of Mario Alfie’s mother, Fe Soledad, before they can file any complaint against the suspects before the Cebu City Prosecutor’s Office. Fe Soledad is the main complainant.

“Maybe she has statements to be included before the filing,” he said.

Pagatpat refused to divulge the names of the suspects during an interview yesterday morning.

Last April 12, the victim arrived dead at the Cebu City Medical Center.

In their affidavits executed before the Cebu City Police, the mall’s chief security officer Mauricio Doblados Jr. and house detective Melvin Boyles named former security camera operator Jeffrey Aquino as the one who mauled Ducayag to death last April 12.

But in an earlier investigation conducted by the store’s management, Doblados and Boyles said Ducayag fell off from a chair and died after a seizure.

After he was released from detention by the police last April 29, Aquino told the media he was only a fall guy and he accused Doblados as the one who mauled Ducayag.

He also said Boyles was the one who accosted the victim.

NBI 7 Supervising Agent Bernard dela Cruz said they will hold a case conference with the Ducayag family and their lawyer today to discuss the progress of the investigation.
