“We will not condone this misdemeanor and appropriate charges will be filed against them, both administrative and criminal, if warrants. Disciplining and dismissing erring police personnel shows efforts of the PNP in removing bad eggs in the police force in line of PNP’s internal cleansing program, and that the rule of law does not distinguish rank, position, or popularity whether victims or respondent in the PNP organization. This is a clear manifestation of our keen determination to remove misfits among the ranks of our organization,” said P/BGen. De Leon.
