MANILA, Philippines 鈥� Philippine National Police (PNP) officer-in-charge Lt. Gen. Vicente Danao Jr. has ordered all unit commanders to strictly implement the internal cleansing program to get rid of rogue police officers.

He reminded them not to forget to give out 鈥渟evere punishment鈥� to erring officers.

鈥溾�榃ag rin nating kakalimutan na bigyan ng severe punishment, and I鈥檓 directing all unit commanders on the ground to strictly implement the internal cleansing. Let us enforce discipline in all ranks. That is what we should be. It is the very thing that is expected from us,鈥� he said during the flag-raising ceremony at Camp Crame, Quezon City.

He noted that discipline 鈥渨ill strengthen鈥� the PNP鈥檚 partnership with the communities and private entities.

Danao said it is already a big thing if police officers don鈥檛 get involved in any lawless activities and just carry out their duties.

He, however, said that criticisms against the police are mainly from leftist groups who intend to 鈥渕align and destroy the image of the PNP.鈥�

鈥淭he mere fact na walang madamay, masangkot na kahit sino sa atin sa kaso ay napakalaking bagay na. 鈥榃ag natin bibigyan ng butas ang ating mga kalaban sa gobyerno. Lalung lalo na 鈥榶ung ating makakaliwang grupo,鈥濃�� he said.

(The mere fact that none of us will be involved in cases is a huge thing already. Let鈥檚 not give them, especially the enemies of the state, any reason to criticize us. Especially the leftist groups.)

鈥淜ung makikita niyo sa ngayon, kaunting pagkakamali lang ng pulis, binabash nang husto, kahit hindi naman regular na pulis, sinasabing pulis. These are designed to really malign and destroy the image of PNP because they wanted to show oppressiveness among the poor,鈥� Danao added.

He said police shouldn鈥檛 let the leftist groups affect them and they should just do the work and 鈥渄o what is right.鈥�

鈥淛ust do your work and perform well and just do what is right and everything will be in order. 鈥榃ag tayong magpapaapekto sa mga ganitong klaseng organisasyon na patuloy na sumisira at patuloy na naninira sa ating miyembro ng hanay ng mga kapulisan,鈥� he said.

(Let鈥檚 not get affected by those who just want to destroy and malign our ranks.)

Danao鈥檚 remarks came on the heels of the National Bureau of Investigation鈥檚 finding that there was 鈥渃riminal intent鈥� in the deaths of eight high-profile inmates at New Bilibid Prison and filing murder complaints against 22 police officers from the National Capital Region Police Office.
