MANILA, Philippines — After six months of operation, the Manila Police District (MPD) “honesty store” closed shop over the weekend, citing financial losses attributed to dishonest buyers. Honesty store is not applicable in MPD or for that matter anywhere other than Batanes,” Tan said, referring to the Honesty Café in the province where the project was first implemented. Vicente Danao Jr. said he is saddened by the development, “but it is their (MPD cooperative) call and I can only advise them.”A brainchild of former MPD director Chief Supt. Rolando Anduyan, the district’s honesty store was launched at the lobby of the MPD headquarters along UN Avenue on June 9. The MPD honesty store was the first of its kind in any police station in the country.
