Some P10 billion worth of illegal drugs were seized across the country during the first six months of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. in office, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) reported on Thursday.
Amid reports of the continued existence of “ninja cops,” Abalos made the bold move of asking for courtesy resignations of colonels and generals in the police force as part of the government’s efforts to cleanse its ranks and rebuild its reputation.
In requesting their courtesy resignations, Abalos explained that the ranks concerned are the most sensitive and critical positions in the PNP, hence the need for a swift solution to the problem.Abalos said former president Fidel Ramos asked police officials to submit courtesy resignations in 1992 over a police uniform issue.
The former president created a screening committee to evaluate and process all voluntary applications for the retirement of senior PNP officers pursuant to Memorandum Order No. 93 dated Feb. 23, 1993.
