Members of the Philippine National Police (PNP) such as patrolmen and lieutenants should not be immediately allowed to be assigned to the PNP Drug Enforcement Group (PDEG), Senator Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa on Sunday said.
In a radio interview on Super Radyo dzBB, Dela Rosa said that the PNP has to adjust its administrative policies–including its vetting system–on who should be assigned to the PDEG.
The lawmaker added that “they immediately get exposed to the wrong jobs when the seniors they were assigned to were already like ninja cops.” “I admit that there are lapses in our entire operation, but such judgment calls and procedural lapses were done by me in good faith based on the reports of my men,” Domingo said.
When the 990 kilograms of shabu was later seized, policemen committed a violation when they pilfered about 42 kilos of the contraband, Domingo said. At the time, Domingo said he told his subordinates to file appropriate cases against Mayo even if he was set to give them information on a bigger drug bust.
