MATALAM, North Cotabato – As of this posting more than 500 senior officers of the Philippine National Police responded to the call of Secretary Benjamin Abalos of the Department of the Interior and Local Government to file courtesy resignations. According to Abalos this was thought of as the shortest cut to cleanse the PNP of so-called “ninja cops” or rogue policemen who are either acting as protectors of the illegal drug trade or directly involved in the sale of the outlawed drugs.
Does it augur well that no less than the DILG Chief cannot seem to trust our judicial system? It leaves a bad taste in the mouth, to say the least. What about junior officers and the rank-and-file policemen, who, we can safely assume as many times more in number than the high-ranking officers who are likewise involved in the illegal drug business? How is the good Secretary thinking of getting rid of them? Are they next? Or, is it assumed that when the senior officers are out those rogue policemen down there will just stop?
As to what happens to those whose resignations are accepted by the President, the DILG Chief was not clear on this. We only know that the consequence of those whose resignations are accepted will cease to perform their duties and be separated outright from the police organization.
