The Human Rights Watch (HRW) on Friday twitted the Philippine National Police for giving erring personnel kid-glove treatment, a criticism that the national police disputed. Dionardo Carlos, PNP spokesperson, however, was quick to clarify that the two policemen were facing administrative charges for their misconduct, and not merely transferred. Meanwhile, senators are split on the deployment of erring policemen to difficult assignments. Sen. Bam Aquino urged the PNP to rethink its policy, saying such strategy would further weaken public trust in the police.
