“We are glad about what is happening now since everybody is policing our ranks, including our chiefs,” he said in mixed English and Filipino. “This is an opportunity for change.” National police chief General Rodolfo S. Azurin, Jr., who quit last week, said the committee should be composed of people outside the police and Department of Interior and Local Government to ensure fairness. He said Baguio City Mayor Benjamin B. Magalong would be part of the body that will scrutinize top cops.
He had told police in August to temper their use of force while doing their jobs. Mr. Abalos said in July the anti-illegal drug campaign would be “as intensive as before.” He said Philippine labor unions would bring up recent cases of violence and killings against workers with the International Labour Organization this month.
