Addressing the officers who showed up for the “dialogue,” Estomo reiterated Interior Secretary Benhur Abalos’ call on the police top brass to resign and challenged the 31 who were present to also resign, and to submit to an investigation by an adjudication board to verify their involvement in illegal drugs.A month to check
Estomo and 66 colonels and generals of the NCRPO also underwent a drug test last week and none of them was positive for meth or marijuana use. According to a police official who was present but requested not to be identified as he had no authority to speak with the media, one of the 31 denied he had illegal drug dealings and asked for a copy of the intelligence report implicating him. Another said he was already cleared by a previous investigation and was surprised that he was still on the list.Estomo told them to submit their explanations to the adjudication board, which would make rectifications based on its own findings.
By 2020, the PNP national adjudication board had conducted two investigations of 707 personnel allegedly connected to illegal drugs—357 in the first and 352 in the second.As of Thursday, Abalos said 88 percent, or 841 of the 954 colonels and generals of the PNP, have submitted their courtesy resignations and that the number of those who offered to step down was increasing.
“This just shows to the Filipinos that the PNP is supportive of the ongoing internal cleansing in order to regain the trust and faith of the public to the organization,” he said.
