The law that would extend free legal aid to uniformed personnel of the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the Philippine National Police should provide strict guidelines to guarantee that only the innocent will be benefitted.

Rizal 2nd District Rep. Fidel Nograles said he fully supports the proposal that President Rodrigo Duterte included in his legislative wish list during his State of the Nation Address on Monday, July 26.

` “I agree that free legal assistance should be given to enlisted personnel who face charges arising from the discharge of their duties, as the potential for abuse does exist in legitimate operations, and law enforcement authorities can be made the subject of trumped up charges,” the neophyte solon said.

However, he stressed the importance of putting “guidelines to ensure that the State does not protect law enforcement authorities who have indeed stepped out of bounds.” There are currently four bills pushing for the said free legal assistance pending in the House committee on justice.
