26 Human Rights Situation in Police Lock-up Cells Similar incidents were also noted at the Manila Police District. A PDL was seen being beaten with a wooden plank by a police/jailer for allegedly being “makulit” (naughty/hardheaded). 106 A female detainee was also allegedly tortured at the MPD-Tayuman Police Community Precinct committed by a police officer of MPD-Jose Abad Santos PS-7. The said detainee needs post-natal care as she just gave birth about a month ago and, according to her co-detainees, was bleeding the day before the CHR visit. 107 At the Quezon City Police District, a PDL who requested anonymity, raised the issue of torture in La Loma PS-1; and another raised the issue of use of force by police authorities in handling PDL in Batasan PS-6.
