Senator Bato dela Rosa's bill ignores the crying need for institutional reform in the PNP – to reduce drastically the endemic corruption in the organization, and torture/physical abuse, planting of evidence and EJKs by members of the police force
and three others , seeking to introduce “organizational reforms” to the Philippine National Police . The senators have ignored the crying need for Introducing organizational reforms when institutional reform is needed is like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic when it was sinking.
It is not as if the PNP hasn’t tried to cure itself. But the attempts come in ebbs and flows, depending on the quality of the PNP leadership, as well as its ability to withstand political interference . For example, the PNP has claimed, as of the end of 2022, that . It had hit its target. Whether that target response time is too long or just right, I do not know. And whether that 100% is correct, I should like to hear from Filipinos who have called for PNP help.
It took him all of 13 years to correct that situation, but the day before he retired, it was accomplished. He did it. Now, Filipinos can rest assured that police investigators know what they are doing, or at least have received formal training. a campaign to get officers back in proper uniform, properly groomed; deployment of police in their three basic functions of patrolling, traffic management and investigation;
And when he left, eight months later, he presented an anti-corruption plan to President Arroyo, describing the endemic corruption – from recruitment to retirement – in the PNP and what to do about it. Whether it was followed or not, I have no idea. But back to corruption and poor management in the PNP. It ebbs and it flows, with more flowing than ebbing.
