Former Police Colonel Caesar
Mancao said he will help promote the Philippines as a number one tourist
destination by having his pictures taken all over the country. The fugitive
Police Officer issued this sarcastic statement after successfully escaping his
jail cell at the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) many weeks ago.
The
National Bureau of Investigation and the Philippine National Police (PNP) have
already launched a massive manhunt for the former law enforcer but has so far
failed to find and arrest him. Caesar Mancao was implicated in the
Dacer-Corbito Double Murder Case but has turned witness against former PNP
Chief and now Senator Panfilo Lacson and former President Joseph Estrada.
The former cop
was extradited from the US by the Arroyo Administration and was convinced to
become a state witness against Sen. Lacson and former Pres. Joseph Estrada whom
he pointed out as the masterminds of the double murder case. Mancao was under
the Government’s Witness Protection Program during the Gloria Arroyo
Administration but he was scheduled to be transferred to the City Jail a few
weeks ago.
Mancao said he will
be assassinated once he is removed from NBI custody and asked the court to
defer his transfer but it was denied. It was this reason that he escaped his
NBI detention. He also accused Sen. Panfilo Lacson of harassing him and that
his transfer to the city jail was due to the connection of the Senator to the
Department of Justice (DOJ) and to Pres. Noynoy Aquino.
So now, Mancao
is scot-free and having a field day enjoying the beautiful sights of the
Philippine countryside. He even joked that he will continue posting his
pictures taken all over the country to help promote the Philippines as the best
tourist destination. Mancao even borrowed the Department of Tourism’s slogan
that says “It’s more fun in the Philippines!”
I guess Col.
Caesar Mancao should enjoy his temporary freedom. No matter how good he is at
eluding his captors, the time will come that his luck will finally run out. When
that time comes, Mancao will either end up in jail again or get himself killed
in some dark alley... Yes, “It’s more fun in the Philippines!” Until the shit hits the fan….
