“Based on my personal experience, ang nagtutulak kasi dito, in fairness dito sa ating mga kapatid na police personnel, eh naniniwala ako, itong mga ‘to ay sumusunod lang, meron kasi Mr. Chair na quota eh during my , naranasan ko po ‘yan,” Bosita said.
Bosita relayed that there was a time when he was relieved from his post, because he appealed to the relatives of drug personalities in the community watchlist to surrender, as there would be a good program for drug surrenderees. According to Bosita, every Monday, their superiors would ask for accomplishments, where they were pressured to meet a quota. The incumbent lawmaker did not divulge a figure for the quota, but he explained that he was sacked from his post because 20 of the 21 drug personalities in his jurisdiction surrendered.
A few days after the suspected drug personalities surrendered, Bosita said he was fired from his post. He said he did not think about it much until a higher-ranking official revealed to him that he was relieved because he allowed the persons on the watchlist to surrender ‘only’.
