Lack of cases closes NBI Bohol office

CEBU, Philippines - The lack of cases being filed for investigation in Bohol has prompted the management of the National Bureau of Investigation to close its district office in that province and recall all the agents assigned there back to their mother unit.

The decision to close the NBI Bohol District Office came out during the recent command conference held in Manila attended by all regional directors after the Bohol office did not report any significant accomplishments.

NBI Central Visayas regional director Medardo de Lemos said the agents are also complaining that they are lagging behind in the performance evaluations because there are no cases filed for them to investigate.

The NBI management reportedly consulted Bohol Governor Erico Aumentado on the predicament of the agents. Aumentado allowed the closure provided that the clearance office will be retained.

De Lemos said that starting next month the district office in Bohol will be closed and that three of the agents assigned there will be recalled to Cebu while the other two will report back to their mother units elsewhere.

De Lemos said that a clearance office will be retained in the province to service the clearance applicants. Bohol however will continue to get the investigative services of the bureau because the regional office in Cebu can send agents if the need arises.

The agents in Bohol were given until the end of this month to wind up their cases before reporting back to their mother units. â€" Fred P. Languido/BRP(THE FREEMAN)

naay good news kasi parang crime free ang bohol.ang bad news paano kong may mahitabo,hwag naman.mas majo siguro og dili lang i close

Let's just hope that more efficient law enforcement in our island will completely make the NBI unnecessary.

Abi nako'g daghan unsolved cases pa sa atong probinsiya--just to mention the recent murders of Ronald Sendrijas y Cempron, Martin Williams, Victorino Taray. Are they all closed? O wala'y nagpasakag sumbong for investigation? Didto ra diay taman kaning mga kasoha--walay warm-body arrest except for Williams' case?

I think this is a good move on the part of the NBI management. For quick responses to crime alerts, the PNP should suffice. When needed, NBI agents could be called in from Cebu promptly enough, I'd say. 

Good news - kay minus na diay tulis ug patay sa ato  ron!

Bad news - daghang ma jobless ani?

too good to be true!

do not gloat too much with out research. and thinking.

One do to crisis no one has money to spare these days to file because Bohol is so fricken expensive even compared to the bigger province of luzon.

As of late last night each city jail had detainees in them at 5-6 persons each. (over the limit).

It is the crisis that is why there are no cases. In reality there are many cases to file but do to looy situations here sorry no one wants can afford to punish the people doing wrong.

So knock of the yippee yahooing and think about what I have I said. Crime has picked up here not deflated.
