Yes the PNP should be able to protect the people by all the standards I grew up with. However I learned the hard way that PNP officers are graduates from the same Criminology schools as your local security guards.

LOL, actually, since I think they are after money, I'd probably want to let them know I'm not NORWEGIAN. $625,000-$1,000,000 (approx 30-50 mil pesos) was allegedly paid to free a Norwegian national last month. Philippine militants got ransom for Norwegian, say analysts | Daily Mail Online

For those Americans, or anyone who looks like an American (Ozzies and Aussies in particular) , who want that extra feeling of security while trolling the Boulevard tonight, I will be renting out sheep on leases from 6 PM till 2 AM. For those who do not like cleaning up after their sheep or who can not seem to find the right lady in Why Not, I will also be selling "inflatable sheep" that can be taken home for a romantic evening.
How did the President's negative comments about America get combined with terrorist kidnapping foreigners (mostly) for ransom? I was not aware they were buddies.
