Twenty-two police officials were relieved from service for “unsatisfactory performance” in implementing President Rodrigo Duterte’s anti-illegal drugs campaign.
A statement from the regional police office said Acting Regional Director, PCSupt. Gilbert C. Sosa relieved the 22 police officials assigned to different parts of the Cagayan Valley Region.
Sosa said his decision was in line with reorganization plans to bolster the Police Regional Office 2’s “all-out war against illegal drugs in Cagayan Valley Region in support [of] President Rodrigo Roa Duterte’s priority program to eradicate illegal drugs in the country within six (6) months.”
“We will put the best performing PNP Officers on post so that we will meet our target and attain our mission to make Cagayan Valley a Drug-Free Region,” he said.
