MANILA, Philippines – Calapan City Mayor Oriental Mindoro said Saturday that Philippine National Police Chief Gen. Debold Sinas should be held responsible for his “reckless behavior” after violating detection protocols while tested positive for COVID-19.
Mayor Arnan Panaligan said in a Facebook thread that Sinas did not follow the screening protocols required for anyone traveling to the provinces.
“He should be held accountable and held accountable for his reckless behavior,” Panaligan wrote, via his office’s official Facebook page, after being asked about Sinas in the comment section by Mark Manato.
Panaligan’s office announced the COVID-19 situation in his city on Facebook and it was in that post that Manato launched his query.
“It was tested before flying here. It is SOP (standard operating procedure) that when you test yourself, you must first quarantine yourself and wait for the result. He couldn’t do that. When you came here, you didn’t tell us that you were waiting for the test result. Therefore, he was allowed entry. “
Sinas, who already organized a poorly reasoned party at the beginning of the confinement, did not go through the Oriental Mindoro dock in Calapan where health authorizations are issued and instead arrived by helicopter before heading to the PNP Regional Headquarters.
The head of the PNP, who has always been the object of criticism from his “little morning”, thus violated the same protocol that the national government put in place during the current confinement.
Panaligan said that the top commanders of the Department of Interior and Local Government and Malacañang should reprimand Sinas.
“His superiors at DILG and Malacañang must take action against him.”
Calapan City, according to Panaligan, has 13 active COVID-19 cases with the latest involving a 58-year-old man from Barangay Sto. Little boy.
