Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief Police Gen. Guillermo Eleazar ordered a thorough investigation into the revelation of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte that nine police generals are or were supposedly involved in drug trafficking.
As he talked about corruption and illegal drugs in his last State of the Nation Address yesterday (July 26), President Duterte said nine high-ranking police officials were linked to drug trafficking.
Eleazar assured that this will be seriously looked into as he reiterated that rogue cops have no place in the police organization.
“Iimbestigahan nating mabuti ang bagay na ito. Aalamin at tutukuyin natin ang matataas na opisyal sa PNP na sinasabing sangkot sa ilegal na droga,” Eleazar said.
“Uulitin ko, walang puwang ang organisasyon para sa mga tiwaling pulis, lalo na ang sangkot sa ilegal na droga,” he emphasized.
