The Philippine National Police (PNP) on Sunday vowed to intensify its “internal cleansing” program after receiving a pat on the back from Senator Panfilo “Ping” Lacson. “We appreciate Senator Panfilo Lacson’s statement congratulating the PNP in its intensified internal cleansing efforts,” PNP spokesperson Chief Supt. Lacson, himself a former PNP chief, commended the PNP leadership on Saturday for “taking ‘kotong’ cops off the street.”ADVERTISEMENT“This is a big boost to the morale of our personnel who are faithfully performing their duties amidst the dangers of police work,” Bulalacao said. Ensuring that every policeman is well-disciplined is a priority program of newly installed PNP chief Oscar Albayalde, according to Bulalacao. “There is no better way to earn the trust and confidence of the public but to have a police organization whose members are well-disciplined,” he said.
