Senator JV Ejercito on Wednesday, July 26, said it is not enough for PNP and DILG to dismiss from the service police generals and colonels allegedly linked to illegal drug trade.
Senators on Wednesday, July 26, said it is not enough for the Philippine National Police and the Department of Interior and Local Government to dismiss from the service police generals and colonels allegedly linked to illegal drug trade.
This came after President Marcos said in his second State of the Nation Address that he would accept the resignation of “unscrupulous law enforcers and others involved in the highly nefarious drug trade.” Sen. Christopher “Bong” Go noted that during the Duterte administration, the government has zero tolerance on illegal drugs.
“And I’m sure they will do the right thing to charge these police officers. The full force of the law should be applied to them to serve as warning to others. Otherwise, we will continue to hear and see this over and over again,” Villanueva stressed.
