Palawan bankers question PNP’s surprise inspection

The Palawan Bankers Association (PBA) has questioned the police\'s surprise inspection of the security personnel of Banco de Oro on Monday.

The Security Agencies and Guards Supervision Division (SAGSD) of the Philippine National Police Civil Security Group (PNP-CSG) Region 4-B conducted the uncoordinated inspection.

PBA vice president and Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP)-Puerto Princesa manager Ferdinand Adriano said the surprise inspection has alarmed the bank\'s managers and personnel as well as their clients.
Adriano said he understands the inspection was made in connection with the bloody bank heist in Cabuyao, Laguna last May.

However, Adriano said there was no coordination with the bank manager of Banco de Oro as well the Police Provincial Office, headed by Sr. Supt. Dennis Pena.

\"It created fear among the bank’s officers and personnel and their clients,\" Adriano said.
