VP Leni Robredo to Cops
VP Leni Robredo recently encouraged the Philippine National Police (PNP) to “do what’s right in enforcing the law.”
In a report by Inquirer, VP Leni spoke on the fourth anniversary of the PNP Center for Police Strategy Management (CPSM), urging the policemen to have moral courage and to encourage public trust.
VP Leni said that she praised , whom she said had declined bribes amounting millions of pesos from illegal gambling, and the policemen for their job well done.
According to Leni, as everyone desires change, but the ways to be used to attain the peace, a drug-free, and a crime-free society needs to be peaceful as well. Robredo didn’t directly mention the so-called Extra-judicial Kil1ings (EJK).
“Our society faces many problems. Every one of us desires change. But the means for change is important for our peace, not just the kind of change that we aspire for. All Filipinos dream of a society without drugs and crime. But how we will achieve this is as important as the dream itself,” the VP said.
She stated that job of serving the Filipino people needs to be “building the stability of institutions that keep the peace and not deciding who d1es or who lives.”

“It’s also about making sure that when the fighting dies down, what’s left is a community that trusts more than fears. A community that can live together in peace,” VP Leni added.
The Vice President then mentioned that: “we don’t just live on brute force or strength. We live on moral courage, which is far more rare [rarer] than bravery in the line of fire.”
