MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine National Police (PNP) will not be affected should the United States decides to stop its assistance to the country’s police force, its chief, Gen. Camilo Cascolan, said Monday. According to Cascolan, the PNP receives assistance from the US in terms of schoolings, training, seminars, and conferences as well as joint police exercises. ADVERTISEMENT“But the pullout of the support from us will no way affect the PNP. For as long as the President supports the PNP, we are very, very happy,” he added. Malacañang has called the proposal a “very wild” suggestion, apparently a pun of Wild’s surname.
