PRRD threatens to send the elite Army Rangers to go after PNP's gambling cops

President Rodrigo R. Duterte has again asked the members of the Philippine National Police (PNP) to clean their ranks.

Duterte has been quoted that in his fight against graft and corruption “no stone will be left unturned” even if those stones are the ones that is expected to help the chief executive.

He gave the  statement that he might tap the services of the elite Philippine Army Rangers to patrol Roxas Boulevard in Manila if some members of PNP does not stop in their illegal activities.

Intel report has reached the office of the President that police personnel’s have been seen always crowding and staying a Japanese owned casino and hotel, engaging in gambling activities.

“Yung Okada diyan. I’d like to announce, lahat kayong mga pulis, umalis kayo diyan (That Okada. I’d like to announce, all you cops, stay away from there),” Duterte said in his inauguration of the Cavite Gateway Terminal, the country's first container barge port, in Tanza, Cavite.

He said that his patience is thinning and would consider assigning army rangers along the Roxas Blvd. to just check if cops are in engaged that is something illegal like engaging in gambling.

“One more policeman there and incident and I will call the Rangers to come down and patrol the whole of Dewey (Roxas) Blvd.,” he said.

“What are the policemen doing there? What’s your business there?” he asked cops, giving them a warning that they might be sacked from service if found doing illegal activities.

“If you violate my order, I will dismiss you from the service.

That’s an order. Because you are there to commit a crime. You are not assigned there or I will assign the army to patrol there,” Duterte added.

“Mamili kayo (Choose), either the military will do the patrolling there or you go out of that place.”

The President reiterated his stern warning that he does not want to see any law enforcement personnel, either in uniform or civilian clothes, engaged in gambling activities since as a nation we have more serious problems.

“You’re making the problem more serious than I can handle. Do not make it hard for me. Tutal wala kayong hiningi sa akin na hindi ko binigay (I have given you everything you asked from me),” he said, referring to the government’s efforts to provide the police force with firearms, double their salaries, and take care of their families in case of death.
