The Metro Manila Council expressed strong support to Department of the Interior and Local Government Secretary Benhur Abalos’ call asking all generals and colonels of the Philippine National Police to tender courtesy resignation as part of efforts to purge personnel involved in illegal drug trade.
“The Metro Manila Council composed of the MMDA Chairman, the 17 Metro Manila Mayors and the representatives of the Metro Manila Vice Mayor’s and Councilor’s Leagues supports it as well as there is already a majority vote as of this statement,” Zamora said. “Secretary of the Interior and Local Government Benhur Abalos asked officials of the Philippine National Police from full colonels up to generals to file courtesy resignations and allow a five-person committee to review their records and conduct background checks specifically to determine their involvement in the illegal drug trade.
“Cleaning house is by no means easy, but it is crucial as we strive to root out the drug problem. This shows how serious and committed Sec. Abalos is in eradicating illegal drugs,” he added.
