After a year of several controversies that marred the administration鈥檚 deadly drug war, the Philippine National Police (PNP) sees a 鈥渓ess bloody鈥� and 鈥渕ore transparent鈥� campaign against illegal drugs in 2018.

鈥淚yong version two ng kampanya natin sa iligal na droga, ang tinignan natin ay less bloody at more transparent,鈥� PNP spokesperson Chief Supt. Dionardo Carlos said in an interview with Radyo Inquirer 990 AM on New Year鈥檚 day.

(In the version 2.0 of our campaign against illegal drugs, we are seeing less bloody and more transparent.)

The police official assured that the PNP operations will be as transparent as possible now that the anti-drug operatives are required to wear body cameras during operations.

The PNP has been on-and-off in the government鈥檚 war on drugs after issues on questionable drug raids compounded by the brutal deaths of teenagers, minors and other suspected drug personalities.

Carlos, however, urged the public to look at the bigger picture and acknowledge the anti-drug campaign鈥檚 achievements instead of focusing on the controversies.

He lamented that the public has overlooked the PNP鈥檚 achievements in its campaign, reaching 95 percent of its targeted number of drug surrenderers, because some people are focusing too much on the 鈥渟maller incidents.鈥�

鈥淎t the end of the day, tinitignan natin 鈥榶ung naaabot na mga durugista at drug personalities through Tokhang鈥斺�榶ong mga sumurrender, 鈥榶ong pagbabago, 鈥榶an ang pinakamalaki,鈥� Carlos said.

(We are looking at what we have reached out, those druggies and drug personalities through Tokhang鈥搕hose who surrendered, the reformation, thats a big feat.)

鈥淲e make an assessment on the whole hindi lang 鈥榶ong maliliit na incidents. We hope the people will see that the efforts of the PNP really is to reach out and offer opportunity for them,鈥� he said.聽/jpv
