AT least 97 percent of all colonels and star-ranked officials in the Philippine National Police have already tendered their courtesy resignations, General Rodolfo Azurin Jr. revealed on Monday, even as he called on the remaining senior officers to follow suit to give the country’s police force a fresh start.
Two weeks ago, Abalos asked all police colonels and generals to submit their voluntary resignations and subject themselves to assessments by a five-man body, whose member include retired police general and Baguio City Mayor Benjamin Magalong, in a drastic move to weed out police officials with links to illegal drugs from the PNP.
He again defended the call for the voluntary resignation of senior officers, calling it as a chance for the PNP to address issues affecting the organization and to demonstrate its integrity and solidarity in the middle of challenges it is currently facing. The PNP chief also called on Magalong and the other members of the five-man committee to be fair and impartial in looking into the records of the officials.
