‘Attacks by motorcycle-riding men alarming’

The Philippine Star
April 26, 2013 | 12:00am

MANILA, Philippines - Crimes perpetrated by motorcycle-riding men have reached an alarming level, and the national police, allotted with enough intelligence funds, should prevent these from happening.

In a statement, United Nationalist Alliance senatorial bet Jackie Enrile lamented that these crimes have become commonplace, and authorities have failed to arrest the motorcycle-riding attackers.

Enrile also cited the weakness of the existing law against illegal possession of firearms which allows violators to post bail. He said he would push for a review of this law if he is elected.
