OLONGAPO CITY -- A local journalist received a barrage of death threats after covering the filing of charges against Olongapo’s police chief before the Office of the Ombudsman and Philippine National Police headquarters on Monday. | |||
Alex Galang, a correspondent of Pilipino Star Ngayon, said he received several text messages the evening after covering the filing of charges against Olongapo City Police Director Christopher Tambungan. | |||
Randy Datu, another Pilipino Star Ngayon correspondent, filed criminal charges against Tambungan after allegedly being harassed by the police chief during a hostage-taking incident in Barangay West Tapinac, Olongapo City early this month. | |||
Galang said the night after the filing of charges, he received several threatening text messages, saying, “Ituon mo na ang mga natitirang araw na kasama mo ang anak mo! Tapos na ang palugit na binigay sau…lasapin mo ang natitira mong oras (Spend your last days with your children! Your time is nearing its end…make the most of your time),” from a sender whose mobile number is 09127611634. | |||
Another text message from the same number said, “Sayang naman hindi ka na makikilala ng bunso mong anak…ang liit pa ng mga anak mo, mararamdaman mo ang paniningil sa mga darating na araw (Too bad your youngest child will no longer see you…your children are still young, you will feel the revenge in the next days).” | |||
Galang, however, has no clue as to who sent the text messages but said he only received the said messages after the filing of charges against Tambungan. | |||
Datu said Tambungan called on local reporters inside the staging point of the scene in which Datu and other journalist obliged. A few minutes later, Tambungan allegedly accosted him by saying “Hoy, ikaw! Anong pangalan mo (Hey, what is your name)?” | |||
Datu said he was surprised by Tambungan’s question as they are no stranger to each other. Nevertheless, he introduced himself again politely. But Tambungan demanded, “Anong papel mo rito (What is your role here)?” | |||
When Datu responded that he was there to cover the hostage-taking, Tambungan dismissed him and said, “Hindi ka kailangan dito. Lumabas ka dito (We don’t need you here. Leave.)!” | |||
In a statement released by the National Union of Journalist of the Philippines Olongapo City Chapter, it said Tambungan allegedly raised his fist as if to punch Datu in the face, but grabbed the journalist’s shoulder instead and pushed him towards the exit of the premises. | |||
Datu also claimed that he was maltreated by the city police chief in one instance inside Camp Cabal in Barangay Barretto a few months earlier. | |||

It was also noted that the BIR's overall performance for the first quarter still improved despite the 2010 implementation of a new tax collection scheme allowing the SBMA to directly receive two percent of corporate taxes being paid by locators. The two percent went to the revenue shares of eight local government units that are contiguous to or affected by the Subic Bay Freeport Zone.
