CITY OF SAN FERNANDO - Brigadier General Jose Hidalgo, director of Police Regional Office III, asked the public to report police officers who are engaging in illegal activities.

“I-report ninyo agad sa aming mga hotlines o dumiretso sa aking opisina dahil hindi natin kinukunsinte ang anumang iligal na gawain,” said Hidalgo.

The regional police director also urged the public to know and invoke their rights when they are being arrested.

“Alamin din natin ang mga karapatan natin para hindi tayo maabuso, hindi lang kapag nagiging suspect tayo kundi sa mga ibang insidente rin,” he said.

Hidalgo’s plea came after the arrest of seven personnel of Angeles City Police Station 2 for alleged arbitrary detention.

Hidalgo said he also ordered the inspection of all jail facilities of police stations in the region to ensure that the incident is an isolated case.
