PNP chief Gen. Archie Gamboa: “The purpose of this plan is like locating a criminal and when you have located one, you have to find his or her accomplices.” | nestorburgosINQ

“These are the skills of investigators in the field because they are used to this. We just convert ,” Gamboa said.

Citing a presentation of Baguio City Mayor Benjamin Magalong, Gamboa said the visit to houses of those suspected of coronavirus infection would also involve an interview which aims to gather information about all the contacts of the infected persons and the timeline of the encounters.Magalong, former chief of the PNP’s Criminal Investigation and Detection Group, has been appointed by Malacanang as “contact tracing czar” in the government’s COVID-19 response.

Starting on Thursday , Magalong will conduct a training on contact tracing for PNP personnel in Calabarzon and Central Visayas regions, according to Gamboa.

This is a great alternative to mass testing but pls ensure everyone's safety first.

Contract tracing naman talaga kailangan para hindi na kumalat pa tong sakit na to eh.

Sana assure niyo muna yung mga tao na na contact tracing ng maayos yung buong kapulisan niyo bago sila mag bahay bahay.

The issue is the safety of people but please ensure us that all covid positive cops are well quarantined.

Sa totoo lang medyo maganda ang naisip nila na to. Hirap lang para sakanila kasi hindi na nila sakop to pero gagawin padin nila.

Dahil hindi afford ng government ang mass testing, ito ang naisipan nila. haha oh well what do you expect, sana lang maging maayos ang pag house to house nila ng hindi matakot ang mga tao sa kanila.

They are just following the orders given by the government, and as far as I know it still depends on LGU's if they will give them permission to conduct a house to house inspection.

Maybe because of lack of budget kaya they maximize nalang ang man power ng mga kapulisan, I remeber DILG mentioned this before eh, so kawawa din talaga mga pulis kasi ang trabaho nila is sobrang delikado especially na may mga cases na din sa kapulisan.

This is really sad, wala na ba kayong ibang maisip na pwedeng gumawa niyan like health workers? bakit kailangan pang iasa sa mga kapulisan, they are already at risk because of their jobs tapos idadagdag pa natin ito sa kanila. Kawawang mga pulis

Let's just give them a chance, tutal wala naman ng maisip na ibang paraan ang gobyerno na ito, mas mabuti na may plano sila kesa wala. Let's just hope na maging maayos ang approach nila sa bawat tao.

And people in medical profession doesn't have a say on this?

Haaay... Makakalbo ako sa kakasabi not sa sarili ko out of frustration.... Ano ba?!

Umpisahan niyo sa bahay ng mga kabaro niyo sir marami kayong mahuhuli dun. Tataas pa trust rating ng PNP. 🤪

Kailan tayo magkakaroon ng pulis na merong utak?

Tetestingin ba sila sa Covid-19 o kung gumagamit ng droga?

I hope wlang tanim-covid na mangyayari. SKILLS pinag-uusapan natin dto ha. Sguro nman marunong kayong tumingin ng sira at maayos na thermometer.

Paanu kung ang police contact trackers ang may mga covid-19, sa daming police na nag positive, so ikalat na ang covid house to house.. ganun?

Maaawa din nmn kau sa kapulisan nyo n literal n nsa front line, pinapasugod sugod nyo sa kung saan saang lugar ng walang ppe ang ending positive n ang karamihan

anong skills sa investigation? sa pulis kung walang witness wlang conviction!!! mga bulag!!!

Did you just say fishing expedition? That's unconstitutional.

as easy as 123 actual footage of them transforming as covid 19 tracers

the criminal you would like to see is invisible to naked eye .. sana na isip niyo po yun ... sana lang

Eksperto po ang kailangan!😠

This is quite alarming don't you think? 😨

Pag ayaw sumama at nanlaban sabihin ng nuno patayin nyo para ma flatten the curve 😶

these are not criminals...

Disturbing analogy.

Only these people are not criminals!

Pucha

But even with all that, police still need a search warrant before you can search inside a home. No warrant, no entry.

Skills?

🤪

What skilss are u talking about? Planting evidence? In this case, planting fake negatives?

Galing ng analogy.

We all know how that worked out with your war on drugs.

Nanlaban-

Gago si Archie

The issue is trust, not skills. When these skills were misused to kill Ragos, or 4 AFP intelligence men, or to rape 2 teens, people become suspicious of police contact-tracing.

did he just compare a covid infected to a criminal!?

NO !

Mga ulol!!!

‘Parang tokhang’: Senator hits house-to-house search for COVID-19 patientsMANILA, Philippines — Senator Risa Hontiveros on Tuesday criticized the government’s decision to send police officers and local government personnel to households to search for COVID-19 patients CMRamosINQ Kaya na palang maka-detect ng sakit yung mga pulis ngayon CMRamosINQ Well the LGUs and Barangays have not done it till date. The citys health department and DOH data gathering is useless and unreliable. The Barangays still do not have the data of how many people live in each household. Please let the Brave AFP & PNP do thier jobs. CMRamosINQ Constructive critism lang po senator. Wag po bola ng bola.
