Tough officer now Mangaldan's top cop

FEARSOME COP. New Mangaldan officer-in-charge (OIC) chief of police (COP) Superintendent Jeffrey Fanged paid a courtesy call last Friday to Mayor Bona Fe D. Parayno.

Before he became O.I.C in this town, the unassuming Fanged was assigned with the Philippine National Police’s Anti-Kidnapping Group in Manila and had stint for several years as COP of Urdaneta City. In that city, lawless elements like narcotic peddlers scampered away to other towns because of the dreaded fear to Fanged’s styles of combating criminals even during the time of President Benigno Aquino III. Fanged is a member of Class 1999 of the Philippine National Police Academy. TEXT by Mortz C. Ortigoza
