Pangako ni Ping: Mawawala ang Kotong sa Kalsada!

Ang pagtatanggal sa kultura ng kotong ang isa sa mga magiging prayoridad ni Senador Ping Lacson sa kanyang administrasyon sakaling palarin na manalo sa pagka-Pangulo sa halalan sa Mayo 2022.

Ito ang isa sa mga nagawa na ni Lacson nang kanyang pinamunuan ang Philippine National Police mula 1999 hanggang 2001, kung saan nilinis nya ang kapulisan at binuwag ang kotong culture.

“Ito pwede kong ipangako – ang kotong sa kalsada mawawala,” ani Lacson sa kanyang sectoral forum kasama ang mga bus operators.

That’s a Promise: Kotong to Disappear Under Lacson Presidency

Ridding the streets of “kotong” – where jeepney drivers lose some P300 a day to crooked cops – will be one of the first priorities under the presidency of Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson. And that’s a promise.

Lacson said he had done this when he headed the Philippine National Police from 1999 to 2001, when he rid the police force not only of mulcting cops but the kotong culture.

“Ito pwede kong ipangako – ang kotong sa kalsada mawawala (This I can promise: kotong in the streets will disappear),” he said at a sectoral forum with bus operators.

Ping, Isiniwalat ang Pagbabalik ng Kotong sa Kabila ng Pandemya

Pera noon, paninda ngayon: Sa ganitong paraan bumalik ang kotong sa kabila ng pandemya kung saan nagbibigay pa ng listahan ang mga tiwaling pulis sa mga nagtitinda sa Divisoria kung ano ang mga bagay na gusto nilang tirahin.

Ito ang isinawalat ni Senador Ping Lacson nitong Sabado, kung saan ibinahagi niya ang laman kanyang pakikipagusap sa mga tindero at tindera sa Divisoria.

“Ngayon daw iba na. Ang pulis, for some reason, may listahan na bawa’t pondohan sa lugar na pinagtitindahan. Listahan na binibigay. Ito dapat inyong ibigay, gulay, prutas, paninda. Balik na naman tayo. Day-to-day corruption,” ani Lacson, na bumuwag sa kultura ng kotong sa Philippine National Police noong pinamunuan niya ito mula 1999 to 2001, sa kanyang panayam sa DZRH.

Lacson Bares Return of ‘Kotong’ Amid Pandemic

From cash to a cut of one’s fruits and vegetables: This is how “kotong” has evolved amid the pandemic, with corrupt policemen now giving vendors in Divisoria a list of items they should fork over.

Sen. Panfilo M. Lacson disclosed this on Saturday, citing a conversation he had with vendors selling wares in Manila’s Divisoria commercial district.

“Ngayon daw iba na. Ang pulis, for some reason, may listahan na bawa’t pondohan sa lugar na pinagtitindahan. Listahan na binibigay. Ito dapat inyong ibigay, gulay, prutas, paninda. Balik na naman tayo. Day-to-day corruption (Kotong is back but in a different form. For some reason, police now present vendors with a list of items they should give them, such as a cut of the fruits, vegetables or whatever they are sending),” Lacson, who had eradicated the kotong culture in the Philippine National Police when he headed it from 1999 to 2001, said in an interview on DZRH radio.
