Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Gen. Archie Gamboa vowed a more vigorous war on illegal drugs and pledged to kick out rogue policemen. The PNP chief said a stronger campaign against illegal drugs and a cleansing of the police force were among the directives of the President. He stressed that PNP personnel included in the drug watchlist would be evaluated, while policemen who committed derogatory acts would either be delisted or charged. The PNP chief said he wanted PNP personnel to be the “most respectful of the rule of law.”“Every single individual in the PNP counts, that’s why I call it team PNP because this is a participative leadership. We have to do this as an organization, as team PNP,” he added.
