MANILA, Philippines — President Rodrigo Duterte on Tuesday aired his frustration over the Philippine National Police (PNP), saying the organization has always been a problem for any administration. “You know historically, the police, the PNP has always been a problem for any administration. And I think that with the remaining two years, if I can just fix a third of what’s bugging the PNP, and that is corruption,” Duterte said in an ambush interview. ADVERTISEMENTAmid questions of a new PNP chief, Duterte said he has given Interior Secretary Eduardo Año to fix the problems within the police force. Duterte has yet to appoint a new PNP chief, months after Oscar Albayalde stepped down from his post.
