Tinun-an namatay sa kulata sa mga guwardiya?

According to Aquino, it’s been a practice of the mall's security guards to beat up suspected shoplifters.
“Naay uban nga masumbagan gyud kay arogante man,” he said. (There are some persons accused of shoplifting who were mauled because they were arrogant.)

amping nalang jud kay kung ma-a-an unya masulod sa security office, goodluck!

@facebook/golens - more appropriate would be "reaction"
anyway, these type of crimes (petty crimes) are some sort nga "developing crimes"...murag stage ba...magka-dako...
you can ask anang mga nangapreso ug pila'y edad nag-sugod ug unsa'y krimen gibuhat pag-sugod...
first hand experience UNTA nakong mapangutana ani kung gipa-kuyog pako sa akong ginikanan sa BBRC sauna sa among major subject...

also, naa mi silingan nga snatch2x rag una...kawat2x na...akyat bahay na gyud...ambot unsa'y nabuhat ato nga tua naman sa munti ron...

i can say sorry the whole day...ain't going to bring him back...

@golens - media ray maka-abot nato...and news like the "death of a robber/rapist/killer/etc" just sounds a LOT better than "call center girl raped/snatched/stabbed to death"...

and if the latter was the headline, do you really stop and think, katong call center girl basin mao'y nag-una2x mao'ng gi-dunggab/rape".... because i seriously doubt that...

@supermarionism - dili tingali suspect lang...suspectS gyud tingali...
murag ang intention ra ato kay pa-tagam...pero nasobraan...

[onigz]

dapat sad tingali seminaron ni sa mga tga metro ilang mga security ug uban employees. di kay dretso lang ug pangulata.. di lalim mamatyan nya mag iyahay nlng ug pamasangil kung kinsa jud ang nangulata..

Doc sued for ‘misconduct’
By Davinci S. Maru, Kevin A. Lagunda and Oscar C. Pineda

Saturday, May 4, 2013

FOR alleged errors in his autopsy report on Mario Alfie Ducayag, criminal and administrative complaints were filed against the Philippine National Police (PNP) Regional Crime Laboratory’s medico-legal officer.

“Had there been no re-autopsy on my son, justice would have been buried with him, the truth would have decomposed inside his his coffin,” said Ducayag’s mother, Fe Soledad, in her affidavit against Dr. Nestor Sator.

Ducayag, 23, was a shopper who was held for questioning last April 12 inside the Metro Gaisano Colon security personnel’s office. That was the day he died.

Sator’s autopsy report named the cause of death as asphyxia due to bleeding pulmonary tuberculosis. Asphyxia is the lack of oxygen or excess of carbon dioxide in the body.

Foul play

A subsequent autopsy report by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) showed Ducayag had died because of traumatic neck injuries, which suggested foul play.

Ducayag’s mother filed complaints for grave misconduct, conduct unbecoming of a public officer and violation of Section 3(e) of Republic Act 3019 (Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act) against Dr. Sator before the Cebu City Prosecutor’s Office.

A separate complaint for obstruction of justice and an alleged violation of Article 174(1) of the Revised Penal Code, for falsification of a public document, was filed before the Office of the Ombudsman-Visayas.

Dr. Sator also faces medical malpractice and unethical conduct complaints before the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC).

Ducayag’s mother said his ordeal was “too frightening to go unpunished.”

Fe Soledad and her daughter, Marie Shantylle, were assisted by their lawyer, Wendell Quiban, when they filed the complaints yesterday.

“We suspect there was a cover-up,” said Quiban.

Accusations

Security camera operator Jeffrey Aquino has accused chief security officer Mauricio Doblados of mauling Ducayag until the latter died. But Doblados and house detective Melvin Boyles said it was Aquino who killed the victim.

Atty. Quiban said the family is considering a possible lawsuit suit against Metro Gaisano and its security agency, but they are still waiting for the results of the National Bureau of Investigation’s (NBI) inquiry.

Fe Soledad said the bruise on her son’s chest was “too clear to be left unnoticed” even without a microscope.

She further said: “The injury was enough to alarm Dr. Sator of the presence of foul play, but unfortunately, he indicated the nature of case of my son as pathological, which means that my son died of sickness.”

Dr. Sator, in earlier reports, denied he acted in bad faith. He stood by his findings, but he did not rule out foul play.

He admitted, though, that he did not notice a neck injury during his examination.

Not contented with the result because Ducayag had not been ill, Fe Soledad and her daughter had asked the NBI 7 for a re-autopsy.

Trauma

NBI 7 medico legal officer Dr. Rene Cam discovered that Ducayag died because of traumatic neck injuries.

Tuberculosis was not indicated because there were no traces of blood in the victim’s mouth and tongue, said Dr. Gil Macato in his affidavit.

Ducayag’s head could no longer be held in place because of cervical vertebrae dislocation, but Sator had reported that “no injuries are noted and (there were) no signs of strangulation at the neck nor fractures at the cervical vertebrae.”

Sator reported abnormalities in the lower lobes of the lungs, while Cam’s findings reveal that both lungs were congested and injured in the middle and lower lobes.

Also yesterday, the Police Regional Office (PRO) 7 said it will impose appropriate the sanction if there was, indeed, a discrepancy in Dr. Sator’s autopsy report.

Senior Supt. Armando Radoc, acting chief of the Regional Police Community Relations Division (RPCRD) 7, said they assure the public they will investigate Sator if any lapses on the medico-legal officer’s part are shown.

Procedure

“However, on the issue of Mario Alfie Ducayag’s death, the PRO 7 cannot question the findings of Sator as such would be tantamount to questioning his credibility as a medical doctor,” he said in a press statement.

Radoc said the results of the autopsy by Sator were based on what he saw on Ducayag’s body, and it appeared to have been done in accordance with regular procedures in a forensic medical examination.

But the PRO 7 will not tolerate any wrongdoing by any member of the police that will affect the integrity and credibility of the organization, he added.

Meanwhile, the Provincial Capitol is waiting for Ducayag’s family to seek help from the social welfare office.

“We are just waiting for them to come,” said Acting Gov. Agnes Magpale.

Magpale said she learned that Ducayag has two children, ages one and three years old. He had been separated from his wife.

Law does not empower guards to detain suspects
By Kevin A. Lagunda

Saturday, May 4, 2013

THE death of alleged shoplifter Mario Alfie Ducayag inside the Metro Gaisano Colon store's security office last April 12 has raised a question: Does mall security personnel wield the power of a police officer?

The answer is no, according to the Philippine National Police's (PNP) revised rules and regulations implementing Republic Act 5487 (the Private Security Agency Law) as amended, which governs the organization and operation of private security agencies, company security forces and government security forces.

But under Rule 13 (powers and duties) Section 2 of the law, any security personnel may effect an arrest under any of the circumstances:

• “When, in his presence, the person to be arrested has committed, is actually committing, or is attempting to commit an offense;

• When an offense has just been committed and he has probable cause to believe based
on personal knowledge of facts, and circumstances that the person to be arrested has comitted it; and

• When the person to be arrested is a prisoner who has escaped from a penal establishment or place where he is serving final judgment or temporarily confined while his case is pending or has escaped while being transferred from one confinement to another.”

The law also states that when making an arrest, the security guard should inform the person to be arrested, of the intention to arrest him and cause of the arrest.

But the guideline does not apply when the person is caught in the act, or arrested after attempting to escape or resisting arrest.

Turnover

“The security guard/private detective making the arrest shall immediately turn over the person arrested to the nearest PNP for custody and/or appropriate action, or … to the proper court,” the law states.

Article 125 punishes any public officer or employee who detain any person, even on legal ground, if he or she fails to bring the suspect to the proper authorities within 12 hours for offenses punishable by light penalties; 18 hours for those meted correctional penalties; and 36 hours for capital crimes.

In Ducayag's case, the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) 7 said the housekeeping student was held inside the Metro Gaisano's security personnel office for about 30 minutes.

After he was allegedly mauled to death by the store’s security officers, he was brought to the Cebu City Medical Center, where he was declared dead-on-arrival at 3:30 p.m.

Report

At 5:35 p.m., the store’s security camera operator, Jeffrey Aquino, and security guard Margie Gaser reported the incident to the Waterfront Police Station, said Ducayag's sister Marie Shantylle.

Aquino and Gaser, she said, were held but they were later reportedly released by the police.

The law also allows a security guard or private detective to search the arrested person in the presence of at least two witnesses.

Metro Gaisano spokesperson Cerwin Eviota said the store’s house detective is tasked to first observe the suspected thief. The store detective will only approach the suspected shoplifter when he or she has left the store’s premises.

Polite approach

“The rule is to approach him politely,” said Eviota.

He said the suspected shoplifter is given chance to go back to the counter to pay the items he allegedly stolen. But if the suspect continues to deny the charge, he will be brought to the investigation room to get more information from him like name, address and age.

Afterwards, he will be turned over to the nearest police station.

“The procedure should not go beyond 30 minutes,” said Eviota. “Much better if it will only take 10 to 15 minutes.

It would be logical to think that most of initial reaction from a scenario where some tragic events would occur is the owner of the place would suffer. More likely would be viral photo I posted and been requoted in these thread.

[bono]

It's a case to case bases. Logic is thrown outside the window when a person think that a mere dispensable worker was being helped/covered up by a corporate giant. Instead of thinking logically, we think with our emotions. It is unfair for the owner to suffer the consequence when one of their lowest rank employee commit a horrible act. If you own a business you should know how unfair it is.

Maybe just maybe we don't think logically because its a Rich vs Poor scenario.
