Sa isang press conference noong Enero 7 sa Davao City, itinanggi ni Duterte ang pagkakasangkot sa umano'y mga pagsisikap sa destabilisasyon laban sa administrasyong Marcos. Sinabi niya na siya ay naging isang pangulo at walang nakitang dahilan upang palitan si Marcos, at sinabing siya ay "komportable" sa kanyang kahalili.
Halos tatlong linggo matapos ipahayag ang pagtanggap sa pagbibitiw ng 18 matataas na opisyal, hindi pa naglalabas ng tahasang pahayag ang PNP na naglilinaw kung tinanggal lang sila sa kanilang mga posisyon o sinibak sa serbisyo ng pulisya. Nananatiling hindi malinaw kung kailan magkakabisa ang mga pagbibitiw.
Almost three weeks after the acceptance of the resignations of the 18 high-ranking officers was announced, the PNP has yet to issue a categorical statement clarifying whether they were merely removed from their positions or dismissed from the police service.
Controlling corruption in the PNP may indeed be a herculean task, and starting it with the illegal drug trade is a good move in the right direction. Is Marcos really up to it?
The PMA Class of 1971 told the economic team to first complete a full actuarial study, saying the P9.6 trillion estimate by the GSIS in 2019 to fully fund the pension system is “misleading.”
Send them to jail, where the big-time drug lords continue to operate? Dismiss them from the service, so they can work full time with the syndicates? Or, as Duterte has suggested, "ihulog mo?"
It presents a good opportunity for the good men in the PNP and the PDEA to purge the bad ones and restore the public’s trust in the organization.
Bilang tugon sa mga natuklasan kamakailan ni forensic pathology expert Dr. Raquel Fortun na nakadiskubre ng mga hindi pagkakatugma sa mga ulat sa autopsy ng mga biktima ng drug war, sinabi ni Sen. Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa na handa siyang bitayin kung mahatulan siya ng lokal na hukuman para sa anumang maling gawain. Wala itong basehan.
A Philippine court cannot sentence him to hanging because the country already outlawed the death penalty on June 24, 2006 when then-president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo signed Republic Act 9346. This outlawed capital punishment in the country, which was previously allowed and carried out through lethal injection.
