Brief History

American period

The MPD was created as the Metropolitan Police Force of Manila by Act No. 70 of the Taft

Commission. An entirely American body, the force was first stationed at the Goldenberg

Mansion, San Miguel. Being provost marshal, Arthur MacArthur, Jr. was named first Manila

police chief. WIth the enactment of Act No. 183 that established the Manila city charter on July

31, 1901, the force was reorganized and was headed by Capt. George Curry. The Metropolitan

Police Force of Manila was renamed into the "Manila Police District," and was initially

composed by 357 troops from the American Volunteer Force to the Philippines. The MPD has

jurisdiction five miles from the city limits and three miles from the shores to Manila Bay. This

led into disputes with the Philippine Constabulary, which had police powers elsewhere in the

Philippines.

In 1907, the MPD was split into two: the Meisic Police Station north of the Pasig River and the

Luneta Police Station south of the river. By 1935, the headquarters was moved to the new Manila

City Hall.

On March 2, 1936, Antonio Torres, then a member of the Manila City Council, was appointed

chief, the first Filipino do so. However, on 1942 at the outset of World War II, the Kempetai, the

Japanese Military Police, ordered Torres to submit to their authority. After the Battle of Manila,

the combined American and Filipino troops reorganized the police force, and Allied forces were

appointed chiefs until the appointment of Lamberto Javalera as acting chief of police.
Third Republic

In 1949, the MPD transferred their headquarters for the last time, in a newly constructed building

at the corner of San Marcelino and Isaac Peral (now United Nations Avenue); the funding of the

reconstruction came from the Philippine Rehabilitation Act of 1948. By this time, the President

of the Philippines had appointment powers to the office. Notable was the appointment of Ricardo

Papa, who organized an anti-smuggling unit that minimized smuggling in the city.

Martial law to the present

On September 21, 1972, president Ferdinand Marcos declared martial law in the country and

created the Integrated National Police, with the Philippine Constabulary as its nucleus. On

December 20, 1974, James Barbers was appointed Superintendent (Police Chief) of the Western

Police District (WPD). Metropolitan Police Force (MPF). On February 26, 1986, Marcos was

overthrown after the People Power Revolution. A few months later, Alfredo Lim was appointed

chief and increased the number of precincts from six to ten. Lim would later be director of the

National Bureau of Investigation, Mayor of Manila and Senator. In 1990, the Interior and Local

Government Act 1990.was promulgated, that created the Philippine National Police, absorbing

the Philippine Constabulary. Other notable names who had been named as WPD chief are

Hermogenes Ebdane on November 5, 1993, and Avelino Razon on June 16, 1996 and December

20, 1999. The two were later named chiefs of the PNP.

On July 20, 2005, the WPD reverted to their former name back to the Manila Police District.

C. Leadership Style

The government is faced with various formidable social problems and concerns. One of these

problems is criminality, which affects all parts of the country and every aspect of community life.

It is imperative to recognize criminality as a complex matter. Its causations are numerous and its

trends are difficult to ascertain. It proliferates with the acceleration of change and development

and is magnified when this process is accompanied with the negative impact of population

growth, unemployment and rapid urbanization. The problem of criminality is aggravated by the

popular perception that crime is a very narrow sphere of behavior. In reality, there is no single

formula and theory that can explain the vast range of criminal behavior. A criminal could be a

shoplifter stealing goods from a grocery store, a pleasant young man who suddenly and

inexplicably murders his family or a gun-for-hire who brutally assassinates a government

official.

Internally generated conditions attendant to a developing nation with a heterogeneous and

expanding population have been cited as the primary contributors to crime trends. The crime

problem is further magnified by the negative impact of unemployment and related difficulties,

the weakening of the traditional social control processes as well as the constant change in moral
standards, the alienation from family and social groups and the rising affluence enjoyed by some

sectors of society. Other contributory factors are the level of efficiency of the crime reporting

system and the willingness of the public to report crimes. Another factor which also adversely

affects the problem is the public perception of the prevention and control of crime itself. The

general notion that controlling crime is solely the task of the police, the courts and the

correctional institutions is apparently erroneous. While it is true that the law enforcers primary

task is to prevent, suppress and control crimes by all possible means, it must be emphasized that

crime cannot be controlled without the genuine interest and participation of other government

agencies, the schools, business and social organizations, and the family.

One of the most formidable problems facing a contemporary police organization is the issue on

what leadership style a police leader should use. A leadership style is the way a police officer

handles the problem situation through a decision that benefits the organization. It must be

suitable to the prevailing situation. According to Hale (1994), it is important to recognize that

leaders are not all cut from the same cloth but are of widely different types. Some leaders are

very colorful and dynamic, while others are quiet and unassuming. Some lead by words while

others lead by action and example. A number of studies have been conducted on the subject of

leadership styles, and a variety of styles has been identified. According to PCINSP Alfredo

Agbuya Jr Station Chief Inspectorate of station 8. We lead in an authoritarian way, hindi lang sa

algebra may X and Y. We have theories. like Theory X, Authoritarian leaders perceive

subordinates as needing direction, or authoritarian leaders exert influence and control over group

members. He stop and think. Its a Command and Control kapag sinabi kong magsaing ka.

Command ko yun pag sinabi kong magsain ka, pero isang kilo lang. Command and Control yun.

Or lets say Lead as Examples, me as a leader sa isang meeting kapag sinabi kong hulihin niyo
siya dapat kaya ko muna siyang hulihin. Before I Command them to do that I should also be the

one para maging example sakanila. kung kaya ko syang hulihin ganun din dapat sila, yung mga

inutusan ko. He added. According John C. Maxwell A leader is the one who knows the way,

goes the way, and shows the way.
