extracted text: October, 1937 GUARD lfi Peppery Letter To The Guard September 30, 1937 The Editor, The Guard, Ceba City. Sir: With reference to your editorial in your Sept ember issue, I wish to inform you that no lady special policeman or regular policewoman or lady seoret service agent has been employed by the City of Cebu since its inauguration as such. If you want to verify this statement you can consult the records of the Commissioner of Public Safety who is authorized to make appointments of policemen, secret service agents, and the so-called special police man. You can also consult the records in the City Treasurer’s office and the City Auditor's office to find if any lady is on the payroll of the City Police Department. Your editorial on this matter is malicious, highly reproaohable, lacks decency and underserving pub licity. This clearly shows the absence of the sense of delicacy, self-respect and responsibility on the part of the author whom I have the pleasure to know. If you only took the trouble of inquiring about the truth of this case, you would not have misrepresented the facts. If you want to be fair you will publish this letter in The Guard and give it the same pro minence as you gave your news about this matter. Very truly yours, 8. G VERGARA Captain, P.A.

Although your letter is Very discrediting to our paper, yet we have got to run it to show our fairness and impartiality to the public We regret to be informed that Charito Rodríguez was not appointed as Special Secret Service. So that if she wai not really appointed, then your rectification will be enough to satisfy the public- Hence, your seoond paragraph is already a superfluous part in recti fying the article which was published in this paper. But one thing our deat Captain. If Charito Rod ríguez has no connection whatsoever in the city police force, we would like to invite your attention to make the necessary investigation because some have seen her badge engraved Special Secret Service. We were informed that even one of the members of the local Philippine Army has seen that girl using that badge so that he was misunderstod t< o. Believing it is h'gh time to suppress the impostors if that girl acted like one, then we expect you to dis courage her if proved making use out of the alleged fake badge in her possession.
