The elderly Italian national shot in his own home on Panglao by the cowardly filth home invaders died yesterday in Ramiro hospital of his wounds sustained in the attack.  It is hoped that in the future such filth can be neutralized prior to attacks on innocent elderly.

Undermanned, but more importantly invisible.  Why hesitate to commit a heinous crime if you know you never see police on routine patrols in your municipality.  I, too, have driven around the province on a motorbike and with the exception of a "seasonal" checkpoint, which could be easily evaded, never see routine police presence.  Visibility and active policing are essential.

Good point, but try to find 25 police officers any day of the week out on the city streets and seen actively patrolling, checking neighborhoods, actively enforcing traffic regulations.  I think that that would be a difficult task.  Maybe one would see 2 or 3 in front of BQ mall on certain days, another one or two entering the Clarin St. barracks.  Where are the other 20 officers on duty?( Presuming 20 per shift, less command officers. )

Crime is completely out of control in Bohol.  Forced entry armed robberies and shootings in homes, armed gangs robbing tourist vans, uncontrolled drub trafficking, etc.  This information will be shouted from the roof tops, so that the politicians will eventually see the monetary result of the lack of police protection in this province.
Until the police begin policing the province, with regular patrols clearly visible to all on a regular basis, like is done in the "real world" and get out of their barracks, crime will only continue to spiral, whether reported by the newspapers or not.

Why is there no information available on the home invasion robbery on Thursday, July 29th in Panglao?  An elderly Italian and his pinay wife were attacked by five armed intruders in their home.  The wife was strangled by the cowardly robbers, while the Italian national was shot five times.

Meanwhile, the police on Panglao are nowhere to be seen.
