PNP chief Gen. Debold Sinas targets to commission a study on anger management in the police ranks, in order to come up with a module and training for police forces for scenarios that could trigger confrontations and gun violence.

This move comes in the wake of the brutal slay of a mother and son by a policeman in Tarlac.

Sinas said he had already consulted with experts from the PNP Health Service the case of Senior M/Sgt. Jonel Nuezca, who went berserk and shot his two neighbors, Sonya Gregorio and her son Frank Anthony, in Paniqui, Tarlac on Sunday.

“We might have also a new study on anger management of our people. I want to come up with a study and how it could be converted to a module for anger management,” Sinas told reporters.

The PNP chief said it was a case of mishandling a confrontation due to a sudden burst of anger.

“If you would notice, he decided to surrender. He did not run away and hide. He chose character probably after his anger subsided so that already shows that he is ready to face the charges. And he could not deny it because the incident was documented,” Sinas said, referring to the viral video of the incident.

Two counts of murder have been filed against Nuezca before the Paniqui, Tarlac Regional Trial Court.

No bail was recommended by the prosecutors for the suspect.
