President Marcos has vetoed a bill seeking to reform the Philippine National Police, saying it runs counter to his administration’s rightsizing policy.
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. leads the graduation ceremony of the first batch of Moro combatants who successfully completed the Bangsamoro Police Basic Recruit Course.MANILA, Philippines — President Marcos has vetoed a bill seeking to reform the Philippine National Police , saying it runs counter to his administration’s rightsizing policy.
Marcos also found the activated APCs redundant because its mandate to supervise “inter-regional and trans-regional police and disaster response operations” is already being done by other police offices. Marcos said a liaison office to the OP “may pose security and confidentiality risks,” while the DILG liaison office “may insulate the PNP Chief from the DILG Secretary.”
“Indeed, the grant of Salary Grade 21 to PNPA Cadets will distort the base pay schedule of the Military and Uniformed Personnel by creating disparity among the several government cadetship programs. At any rate, the grant is visibly higher than the base pay the cadets will receive after graduation and appointment as Police Lieutenants,” Marcos said.
Former PNP chief now Sen. Ronald dela Rosa, who sponsored the measure, said he “passionately shepherded this PNP/DILG-endorsed bill by highlighting its urgency. Our partner agencies as well as my colleagues in Congress acknowledged that same urgency.”
