A Manila Police District (MPD) precinct commander and 30 other police officers are having charges filed agains them courtesy of Manila Vice Mayor Isko Moreno. The charges stem from their violent breakup of a bingo game held in Sta. Cruz last Saturday. The breakup resulted in the arrest of the Vice Mayor as well as five city councilors.
As reported by the Philippine Star, the Vice Mayor is attributing his arrest to a campaign of political harassment.
With tensions running hot on both sides, this could get pretty hairy in the weeks ahead.
