PNP chief notes that cops at checkpoints lack protective gear 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Aaron RecuencoPolicemen manning the checkpoints for the implementation of the community quarantine in Metro Manila lack some of the protective gear to keep themselves safe from possible Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) infection. The Chief PNP’s statement came amid observations by some netizens that some of the cops manning the checkpoints were ill-equipped to protect themselves. But Gamboa said they have no choice but to immediately implement the order since the PNP was tapped by President Duterte to enforce the community quarantine. Earlier, the government was criticized over the alleged leniency in the implementation of the community quarantine.
