STATEMENT OF LP PRESIDENT SEN. FRANCIS PANGILINAN ON 12 PEOPLE FOUND DETAINED IN SECRET CELL IN MANILA POLICE STATION

The matter should be investigated thoroughly and wrongdoers swiftly punished. We have seen how PNP uniformed personnel have in the Jee Ick-Joo case, the Espinosa rubout case, and in a number of other cases abused their office under the guise of the war on drugs. If this systemic pattern of abuse is not addressed, I am afraid the war on drugs will fail in its objective of ridding the nation of illegal drugs and instead succeed in spreading lawlessness, police corruption, and abuse.
