He added that his documents showed that Delilis’ performance is wanting from January up to present and such span of time Delilis knows already what he needs to do in terms of crime prevention and solution efficiency.

“And here is another incident involved the killing of a policemen, hurot na akong pasensiya ani,” Gillamac lamented.

Gillamac said that being a COP has big responsibility and one should put his heart and soul into the job not because of the prestige.

He also reminded all COPs that Delilis’ relief would serves as fair warning to others to do their job efficiently and effectively.

But, Delilis clarified for 11 months as COP, they only recorded 10 murder cases however, he would not compare himself to the previous COPs in terms of performance.

“We also have cleared cases naman but if that’s the decision of my superior hindi naman ako pwedeng mag-deviate if he sees that my performance is not enough,” Delilis said in a phone interview.

He added that Carcar City is known in shooting incidents and crimes are part of a growing city with a fast-growing economy. (FREEMAN)
