The Commission on Human Rights expressed concern over the directive of Police Major General Nicolas Torre III, the new Philippine National Police chief, that among the measures of the performance of police personnel is the number of arrests linked to illegal drugs.In Ian Cruz’s Monday report on “24 Oras,” CHR said Torre should release a clear directive that include a provision that arrests will not be based on numbers but on the right procedure for arresting people.

Kasi kami po dito, ang panuntunan natin namin is hindi po dapat pwedeng maging sukatan ang paramihan ng huli, kung hindi ang dapat na maging sukatan ay tama ba yung proseso ng panguhuli. Yung tao bang iyon ay nagko commit ng crime at kaya siya nahuli?” CHR commissioner Beda Epres said.Torre said the arrest is done under the law and that if the suspect thinks he was arrested unjustly, there are government agencies that can help him.
