STA. ANA - Private motorists yesterday urged the members of the Philippine National Police (PNP) in the province who were tasked to conduct random check points to become polite as they implement "Oplan Sita."
Ernie Villanueva recalled that while driving his car along with his wife and children in Barangay Sta. Lucia, this town, he was scolded and greeted disrespectfully by a police personnel manning a checkpoint in front of Holy Cross College.
"Nakikita munang may check point dito. Buksan munang agad ang ilaw ng loob ng sasakyan mo. Dapat ko pa bang sabihin yun sa iyo?," a police personnel allegedly told Villanueva in sarcastic manner the other night.
It can be recalled that the Provincial Police Office (PPO) under the leadership of Police Senior Superintendent Oscar Albayalde strengthened its "Oplan Sita" in preparation of the upcoming barangay elections.
Oplan Sita is a regular police activity designed to fight criminality and apprehend criminals through setting up of check points in strategic places.
Reports have it that police check-points are on a 24-hour duty stationed on strategic places to monitor the movement of suspicious people and motorists.
"Para sa amin naman po ang ginagawa nilang checkpoints pero sana maging magalang naman sila sa mga motorista lalu at may batang pasahero," Villanueva noted.
The additional police reinforcement were assigned on 62 barangays considered as election areas of immediate concern.
