MANILA - More than 5,000 police officers have been dismissed from service since the first year of the Duterte administration in 2016, Interior Secretary Eduardo Año said on Monday.
Last June, 84 police officers tested positive for illegal drug use and were dismissed while 28 others in the Philippine National Police were arrested over their involvement in narcotics, according to Año. Of the cases the DOJ reviewed, majority were buy-bust operations wherein suspects allegedly drew their guns and resisted arrest. Some medical reports showed suspects tested negative for gunpowder nitrates.
Earlier this month, Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra announced they found potential criminal liability on the part of police officers but held off disclosing key details or making the report public.
