Binayug:bored at a Senate hearing
The Manila policeman dismissed from the service after he was caught on video allegedly torturing a theft suspect at a Tondo police station is now teaching—in a college for would-be policemen.

Police Inspector Joselito Binayug is a part-time instructor at the privately run Philippine College of Criminology-Manila Law College (PCCR-MLC), where he has been teaching Crime Detection Investigation since June.

The Philippine National Police dismissed Binayug from the service on Jan. 14, 2011 after Task Force Asuncion, which was formed to investigate allegations of torture at the Asuncion police station, confirmed that he was the policeman in the video. The footage showed a naked man lying on the floor of the police station, and was leaked to a TV station and the Internet in August.

Iba’t ibang klaseng torture

Iba-ibang klaseng torture ang nakita natin nitong nakaraang linggo.

Una yung kahindik-hindik na video ng turture sa isang hinahalaang holdupper sa Asuncion precinct station sa Tondo, Manila.

Ang pangalawa naman ay ang pagwawala ni Commissioner Coco Quisumbing ng Commission on Human Rights sa media.

Makikita sa video ang isang payat na lalaki ang namimilipit sa sakit na nasa sementong sahig. Tinalian ng kanyang mga torturer ang kanyang ari at tuwing may tinatanong at hindi nagugustuhan ang sagot, hinilia ang tali kaya namimilipit sa sakit.
