MANILA, Philippines- Dapat isagawa ng Philippine National Police (PNP) nang maayos ang tungkulin nito at pairalin ang “political neutrality” sa pagsisimula ng paghahain ng certificates of candidacy (COC) apara sa 2025 polls sa Oktubre, ayon kay Chief General Rommel Francisco Marbil nitong Linggo.
“We are entering a crucial period as candidates for the 2025 elections begin filing their certificates of candidacy. I am directing all local police units to remain vigilant, perform their duties efficiently under the Quad principle, and ensure public safety,” pahayag ni Marbil.
“At the same time, I am reminding every officer that political neutrality is a core responsibility. Do not allow yourselves to be influenced or used by politicians,” dagdag ng opisyal.
Ani Marbil, sinumang mahuhuling sangkot sa partisan activities ay parurusahan.
“The PNP is tasked with protecting the democratic process, not participating in it. We will not tolerate any officer who compromises our commitment to neutrality and fairness. Any form of political interference, whether directly or indirectly, will be met with swift and decisive action,” giit ni Marbil.
Pinaalalahanan niya ang mga pulis ng pagtitiyak sa mapayapang election process.
“Our goal is to deliver a safe and credible election. With the cooperation of the public and the dedication of our police force, we will succeed in ensuring that the 2025 elections are fair and peaceful,” wika niya.
