In this case, reality doesn’t just bite. It screws you up pretty bad.
“PO2 Angel Nabor—a member of the Northern Police District (NPD) who was arrested in Manila on April 22 for allegedly robbing a couple was charged with car theft seven months earlier—managed to remain in the service and even got promoted,” reports Inquirer.net.
Senior Insp. Arce Yam-Oc, chief of the NPD’s Investigation and Detective Management Service, said, “(Nabor) was arrested in October 2013 at Ninoy Aquino International Airport, where policemen saw him driving a Toyota Hilux.”
Back then, Nabor was ranked PO1 and assigned to the NPD’s District Headquarters Support Unit.
The report noted: “An administrative charge for grave misconduct was also filed against Nabor was raffled off to the Eastern Police District, which conducts the summary hearing.”
However, Yam-Oc revealed, “But so far, we haven’t heard from them (EPD) about the status of his case.”
So, as the report said, “Nabor was able to return to active duty at the NPD, where his primary task was to provide security at the district headquarters on Tanigue Street, Caloocan City.” It was during this time that he applied for a promotion. And, yes, we’d like to point out again that he got promoted.
The newly promoted Nabor then tried to steal a bag containing P900,000 in cash and jewelry from businessman Apolinario Ylagan and wife Guillerma, whose vehicle was forced to pull over on Roxas Boulevard in Manila on April 22.
Luckily, the report said that “an officer from the Southern Police District, who was passing through the boulevard also on a motorbike, saw the commotion, drew his gun and prevented Nabor from fleeing.”
