Like a stern father, Police Maj. Gen. Guillermo Eleazar, the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) director, lectured 12 high school students he caught inside a computer shop during class hours on Thursday morning in Makati City. ADVERTISEMENT“The computer shop even had a sign [denying entry to] students during class hours but inside, we found the students glued [to] computer screens either browsing Facebook and YouTube, or playing online games such as CrossFire, Dota (Defense of the Ancients) and LOL (League of Legends),” he said in a statement. The computer shop owner was not around so Eleazar warned the caretaker against violating Department Order No. Signed by former Education Secretary Mona Valisno, it prohibits public and private elementary and high school students from going to computer shops, malls, theaters and similar establishments during class hours while in uniform. Eleazar had ordered all police precincts and station commanders to inspect establishments around schools, especially computer shops and billiard halls, to ensure that their owners were complying with the regulation.
