THE advisory group that assessed the involvement of Philippine National Police third level officers -- from colonels to generals -- has recommended the filing of charges against and acceptance of the courtesy resignation of four high-ranking officials due to their links to the illegal drug trade.
Former PNP chief retired General Rodolfo Azurin Jr., who headed the council, said they recommended the removal from police service through the acceptance of their courtesy resignation of two colonels and two generals, as well as the filing of administrative cases against them. Azurin said he is hoping that his successor, PNP Chief General Benjamin Acorda, “will sustain our efforts on this.”The council had earlier recommended for Napolcom to conduct further investigation against 36 senior police officers over their possible involvement in the illegal drug trade before submitting their recommendation to President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.
The 36 officials were among the 953 full-fledged police colonels and generals who filed their courtesy resignation and whose records were scrutinized by the five-man advisory council following the orders of Interior Secretary Benhur Abalos Jr. with the backing of Marcos in a bid to weed the police organization of erring members.SunStar website welcomes friendly debate, but comments posted on this site do not necessarily reflect the views of the SunStar management and its affiliates.
