President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Wednesday urged new police generals to prioritize dialogue and collaboration in their communities.
"The foundation of effective law enforcement is public trust, rooted in constant and open public engagement," Marcos said in his speech as he administered the oath of office to the second batch of newly promoted star-rank officers of the Philippine National Police.
Fifty-five newly promoted PNP officials consisting of one police lieutenant general, seven police major generals, and 47 police brigadier generals took their oath before the President at the Heroes Hall in Malacañang. The PNP made the headlines in August over the killings of a teen in Navotas whom cops thought was a murder suspect they were pursuing.
"You must likewise nurture a bond of mutual respect and support with the people who have faith and confidence in their police force."
