If what’s on video tells the whole story, I enjoin the Philippine National Police leadership to show no mercy. They should spare no effort to make sure that he rots in jail. He’s the last policeman that they need in the force.
As a policy recommendation, policemen should turn in their issued firearms to their unit’s armorer or supply officer when on off-duty status. That said, they should not be issued Permits to Carry Firearms Outside Residence (PTCFOR) while still in the active service.
The PNP should always uphold its motto “To Serve and Protect.” That includes taking appropriate steps to protect our people from scalawags in their ranks, whether they are on duty or not.

Sir Ping… madami na pong AWOL na pulis na ang service firearms nila ay nakasangla sa tao nang dahil din sa paggamit ng droga sana bigyan pansin ng PNP na mga awol na pulis na surrender nila firearms nila lalo na at 5 hanggang 10 taon na silang awol sa serbisyo.Bigyang pansin at naka magamit pa sa masama.
Ang baril pang self defense hind pang murder. Dapat lang syang mabulok sa kulungan. Lesson learn wag asarin ang may hawak ng baril para hindi malasin.
I suggest the good Senator to sponsor a bill containing provisions of his observations. Mere administrative issuance by PNP will not address this systemis erosion of discipline among our policemen.
