PNP spokesperson Police Colonel Jean Fajardo told the media that the PNP welcomes all reports from concerned citizens about the wrongdoings of some top level officers in the organization.
She said people can visit their website and report vital information which could help in the current cleansing program of the PNP organization.
“Kung natatakot po silang pumunta doon sa kanilang mga local police stations, ay maari po nilang i-access po sa PNP website yung tinatawag nating “PNP e-Sumbong”,the police spokesperson said.
She said concerned citizens should not worry because they will help in ensuring their security after they report any “bad eggs” in uniform who have alleged ties with the drug syndicates.
WEED OUT SCALAWAGS
Earlier, the Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Gen. Rodolfo Azurin Jr. told the media that he wanted to weed out the PNP organizations with those known as “scalawags in uniform.”
In a press briefing at Camp Crame, the police top brass said, PNP is now tainted with cops allegedly involved in the drug trade and some are also allegedly acting as protectors of drug lords.
As of January 9, the police general has confirmed nearly 600 colonels and generals have tendered their courtesy resignation and over 400 more are expected to follow through, in support of the DILG’s call for cleansing.
“If they are truly innocent I think there is no reason for them to hide under the third level innocent na tag. Sabi ko nga everyone is being challenged to submit their courtesy resignation,” the PNP chief explained.
He said this is an individual voluntary resignation, a test of their individual character.
“As of yesterday, we were able to account, more or less, 500 to a close to 600 as reported from our different regions, by our different units,” he said, he told the media in both Filipino and the English language.
