Newsman James de Jesus, who is a member of the National Press Club, claims that he is having a hard time getting Quezon City policemen to arrest the principal suspect in the shotgun-shooting last month of his two teenage sons in Novaliches because the suspect os a “well-connected man.” De Jesus says the suspect is a known henchman of another cop, a member of the QCPD mobile patrol unit whom we shall only identify as “Eggo.”
More importantly, the suspect allegedly acts as the weekly tong collector of this Eggo coming from jueteng operators, drug dealers, massage parlors, prostitution joints, honky-tonk bars, etc. that endlessly abound in Quezon City (an excellent example is this Happy Sauna massage parlor which in actuality is a prostitution front located some 100 meters away from the residence of the former mayor and currently House Speaker Sonny Belmonte along E. Rodriguez Ave., Cubao), which is why there is a pronounced resistance on the part of fellow policemen in effecting the suspect’s arrest and clapping him in jail.
Many operatives of the QCPD are reluctant in crossing paths with Eggo due to his alleged closeness to the incumbent QC police chief, C/Supt. Benjardi Mantele, who is supposedly a longtime friend and acquaintance.
Eggo’s father, a retired police officer, is also supposed to have been a “close business associate” of the top QC cop. Aside from this, Mantele used to be the chief of police of Caloocan City where Eggo’s uncle, three-term Mayor Recom Echiverri, wields tremendous power and influence. In case you missed the connection, this means Mayor Echiverri is the first cousin of Eggo’s father..... MORE
