A policewoman from Malabon City was arrested after she allegedly fired her handgun indiscriminately during the New Year’s Eve festivities, the Philippine National Police (PNP) said yesterday.
S/Sgt. Karen Borromeo, 39, is facing charges and dismissal from the service for her actions, said PNP spokesman Brig. Gen. Ildebrandi Usana.
“She will be facing criminal and administrative sanctions,” Usana said in a press briefing.

“She was having an argument with her live-in partner,” he said in a text message.
A graduating Philippine National Police Academy cadet has been recommended for dismissal for allegedly beating his fellow senior cadet on New Year's eve in Camp Castañeda, Silang, Cavite.“The PNP has no tolerance for wrongdoing of erring personnel, and will never tolerate any misconduct, abuse or breach of discipline,” Sinas said in a statement.
Based on initial investigation, Dulansi reportedly mauled Cadet 1st Class Joab Nacnasat at the roof deck of a school building in Camp Castañeda, Silang, Cavite at around 11 p.m. on December 31.

The team just came from a relief mission to families displaced by armed conflict in Barangay Itaw when they were ambushed.
Major Gen. Juvymax Uy, 6th Infantry Division commander, said elements of the 57th Infantry Battalion rescued the victims and rushed them to the hospital.
After the ambush, two attack helicopters fired rockets and opened fire with machineguns at the fleeing suspects who reportedly escaped toward the upland communities of Talayan, Datu Saudi and Datu Unsay towns in Maguindanao.

An apparently drunk councilor in Dolores town in Abra started the New Year "wrong" when he and his drinking buddies reportedly mauled a rookie policeman and ran away with the cop's government-issued pistol.
Sangguniang Bayan member Russ Zapata and his drinking partners allegedly attacked Patrolman Lowie Gie Itchon and took his pistol Friday night after the latter reminded them of the curfew hours enforced in the town.
Police Brig. Gen. RWin Pagkalinawan, Cordillera regional police chief, said that prior to the incident police officer Phoebe Chumanao was driving her motorcycle along in the town proper when she heard someone shout.
She saw Councilor Zapata and a companion and reminded them of the curfew from 9 p.m. to 4 a.m. Zapata reportedly berated Chumanao and pointed a finger at her.
Chumanao left and returned to the Dolores police station.
Later that night, Itchon and Chumanao reportedly saw Zapata's group at a local noodle shop and again reminded them on the town's curfew hours.
Instead of going home, Zapata attacked Itchon while a certain Jaja Turqueza and their other companions held the rookie cop's two arms while punching him in the face and body.
