COP CLAIMS. A man claiming to be a cop threatened other stallholders in a barbeque strip in Mandaue. He is reportedly a cousin of a foreigner, who also owns a stall in the area. When the other stallholders checked, the man turned out to be only a police asset and not a cop.

WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR? When one stallholder went to the police station to have the matter blottered, he was told to call the station when they see this asset in the area bringing his gun since there was no direct threat to them yet. One complainant said, “Maghuwat tingali ang polis nga mapusilan mo.”
