Kalat na kalat sa social media ang post ng isang Retired General na i-shinare ng Facebook page na “Bohol News Report.”

Ang post ay patungkol sa pinagkaiba kung papaano magsagawa ng checkpoint ang Armed Forcers of the Philippines (AFP) at Philippine National Police (PNP).
Sa kwento ng retired general ay malalaman kung gaano kabastos at kawalang galang ang mga pulis na nasa checkpoint. Samantala, magalang naman ang mga sundalo.
Sa kanyang post ay hinamon ng retired general ang PNP na samahan siyang pumunta sa mga checkpoint ng hindi nagpapakilala kung ano ang ranggo nila.

“I am challenging the top brass of the PNP to travel with me incognito. I will be your driver.”
Narito ang buong post:
"What is the difference between an Army (AFP) checkpoint and a PNP checkpoint? This is a personal experience 36 hours ago.
The intent of this post is not to put down any unit, but to give lessons in "how to do it."
I went thru 4 PNP checkpoints and only 1 Army checkpoint.
All 4 PNP checkpoint: Saan KA galing (while pointing a blinding LED flashlight on your face)?"

Me: Sa _______ po.
4PNP Chkpts: Nasaan ID MO?
Me: Heto po.
PNP chkpt: 1 chkpt said, expired na yan ( Duh and Toinks!. Galing sa college graduate yan). 3 other PNP chkpts, sige (gesturing for me to go pero mukhang inis)." By the way, the ID is NOT military Id, but a work ID.
Army chkpt: (Cpl as I see from his rank). Magandang gabi po Sir! Mukhang pagod na kayo sa byahe. Sir, saan PO KAYO galing?
Me: Sa _______ pa po Ser
Army chkpt: Naku, malayo po Sir yun. Patingin na lang po ng ID NYO. APOR po ba kayo? Ah ok, Sir kumpleto pala KAYO. Sir, baka gusto nyo muna magpahinga, pwede kayo mag-park dyan sa unahan. Gisingin ko na lang kayo kung anong oras gusto nyo.
Me: Ok na po. Deretso na lang ako. Maraming salamat.
Army chkpt: sige Sir, ingat KAYO.
NOTE: I did not, and has not identified myself to any of them that I was a retired Marine.
See the difference? I encourage motorists to take videos of checkpoints. It is a good feedback mechanism for our security organizations to improve and correct themselves.
One thing I learned.... wala sa educational attainment ang pagiging marespeto at makatao. Nasa training at kultura.

Army, high school graduate before (72 college units now). PNP, college graduate.
To give you an idea: This is a 520km stretch.
I am challenging the top brass of the PNP to travel with me incognito. I will be your driver.
from a retired General in PM"
