The PNP contested the results of a recent survey by SWS that showed 29 percent of Filipinos did not believe police claims that slain drug suspects resisted arrest and fought back, or nanlaban. | CGonzalesINQ
“Perhaps those interviewed only stereotyped the term because it has been their impression,” Gamboa said, referring to respondents in the survey.According to the survey conducted from Sept. 27 to 30 and released on Sunday by SWS, 26 percent of Filipinos believed police were telling the truth on nanlaban claims, while 47 percent were undecided.
Despite doubts on accounts of police officers on the deaths of drug suspects, the survey also showed that eight out of 10 Filipinos are satisfied with the drug war.Data from the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency as of November showed 5,552 drug suspects had been killed while 220,728 had been arrested in all 151,601 anti-drug operations nationwide since July 2016, a day after President Rodrigo Duterte took oath as chief executive.
