ANALYSIS: Right to Humane Treatment 21 Many police stations are located in old and decrepit buildings, like NPD-Malabon PS-2 and QCPD-Anonas PS-9. 77 This condition is shared by other stations such as the QCPD-La Loma PS-1; Novaliches PS-4, and DAID/SOTG; MPD-Moriones PS-2, Sta. Cruz PS-3 (the wooden cell that resembles a pig sty), Sampaloc PS-4 (the lock-up cell for women is wet due to water seeping from the walls and ceiling); SPD-DSHG, Muntinlupa City PS; EPD-Mandaluyong PS-3 and San Juan PS-4 (the celing at the female lock-up cell is also leaking). One police station, Pasay City PS-TMRU (PCP-8), is even in danger of being demolished as it is located near a creek. Photo taken at MPD–Sta. Cruz Police Station It was observed that, generally, lock-up cells were constructed with little consideration as to the health of the detainees, especially those who are of old-age, with illnesses, pregnant, and with disability. When asked about the physical conditions of police stations, some police officers answered that renovation of buildings where police stations are located comes along with issues on ownership of the land and/or building. Usually renovation falls under the administrative care of local government units. 78 The study noted that QCPD-Eastwood PS-12, SPD-Pateros PS and NPD-Valenzela PS are exceptions to the issues on dilapidated/damaged or poor condition of police station buildings and/or lock-up cells. These three police stations, as well as its lock-up cells, are in good condition and meet the required standard appropriate to the humanity and dignity of PDL in temporary custody therein. 77 There can be no renovation of the Anonas PS considering that the NAWASA water pipes installation is located underneath the police station building. Its ceiling reportedly has been leaking since 2013. 78 Novaliches QCPD-PS.
