Can the “No kotong” policy be true?

To: Chief Supt. Leopoldo Bataoil,

Having the bragging rights how to implement your agenda is quite impressive. Your admission that lapses in judgment about your predecessors is like an albatross hanging on your neck. Those who preceded you… they are qualified like you do… never been successful or having dented the rampant criminality in that region.

Maybe, addressing this debilitating problem you have something up your sleeve… one of those ancient Chinese secrets? But, be aware that what you are going to face are a bunch of hooligans with ingrained political backing. That's why your predecessors did not make any inroads, they became helpless in their inutility to confront a metastasis in the application of quick and believable justice. Are you just a sacrificial lamb being put in the grinder to be dispensed summarily when your usefulness is done with?

Now, you are into this pass card system which truckers will have to comply in monitoring their whereabouts. You did not mention how this idea worked at the NPD where you were. Was it viable? The problem is not the pass card… it's the personnel that manned the checkpoints. How honest these persons in the implementation of protocols? It's a fact of life experienced by almost everybody, who passes thru these points specifically at night that going thru is to drop down a shakedown and telling you in your face that their breakfast is a few hours away.

To bypass this hitch, if your purpose is to watch the destinations of these errant drivers how about GPS (Global Positioning System). Every driver having this equipment can be easily followed in any which way he is going. Can they afford it? The last time I checked, it will cost every company plying the highways a whopping $699.00 a pop. If you are hardnosed no holds barred kind of enforcer this is the way to go.

You said, " No "kotong" cops under my watch". No shakedowns. Is it believable, Jefe? I am reminded of Richard Nixon, the flagrant violator of the law who said to the American people with a flourish, “I am not a crook".
