The raters of the global think-tank that ranked the Philippines as the second least peaceful nation in Asia Pacific should visit the country to know its real security situation, Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Dir. Gen. Oscar D. Albayalde said.

Albayalde said the raters of the Global Peace Index 2018 should go to the Philippines to “see for themselves” how peaceful the country is.
