MANILA, Philippines — If Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Gen. Rommel Marbil could have his way, officers and personnel proven involved in illegal activities should be dismissed from service right away.

PNP spokesperson Col. Jean Fajardo said the top PNP boss would not want suspension or demotion for the erring police officers and personnel, as he lamented their mere association with criminal schemes.

“Yung ating chief PNP, sabi [niya] ‘yung ganitong kaso na kinasasangkutan ng mga pulis, regardless kung ikaw ay police commissioned officer, non-commissioned officer, ang sabi niya pinabibilis niya lahat ng kasong ito,” Fajardo said in a press briefing Monday.
