Elmer Mejorada Jamias (born November 21, 1961) also known as Barako ng Maynila (fearless/tough guy of Manila), is a Filipino police officer. As of June 14, 2017, he is Deputy Director of the Directorate of Information and Communication Technology Management.
Law enforcement career
Jamias graduated with the Philippine National Police Academy Class of 1986.
In 1999, Jamias killed a criminal named Mike Ampuan, aka Macmod, responsible for the murders of six police officers; he later received the "Bayaning Pulis" (People's Police) award, which came with a reward of 100,000 Philippine pesos, due to his handling of Macmod. Also in 1999, Jamias was among the recipients of that year's Outstanding Manilan Award.
In June 2015, Jamias was involved in a confrontation with Vice President Jejomar Binay over Binay's son's access to Makati City Hall, during which Binay allegedly assaulted Jamias and other law enforcement officers at the scene.
In August 2015, Jamias was made director of Manila's Eastern Police District (EPD); Jamias denied suggestions that the new post was a reward for his involvement in the confrontation with Vice President Binay several weeks earlier.
On June 14, 2017, Jamias was made Deputy Director of the Directorate of Information and Communication Technology Management.
In popular culture
In 2000, Jamias was the subject of a film, Barako ng Maynila, (fearless / tough guy of Manila) inspired by his law enforcement career; Jamias was portrayed by Jinggoy Estrada, son of former Philippine president Joseph Estrada, and the film was directed by Toto Natividad.
