MANILA, Philippines — Police officers will face administrative charges if they give in and be intimidated by violators who drop names of people in high places, the acting chief of the Philippine National Police warned on Friday. In a directive, PNP officer in charge, Police Lt. Gen. Archie Gamboa, ordered all police personnel to ignore name-droppers, and people who flash calling cards of high-ranking police and government officials, just to get out of tight situations including simple traffic violations.

Anyone who will not enforce the law just because somebody tells them that he is a friend of some government big shot will be charged administratively for negligence,” he said.
