“What
we asked from them is training kasi alam naman natin talaga sila is
always very alert iba talaga ang level of training nila it’s
because iba ang level of threat sa kanila (because we know
that they are always very alert and they have very high level of training
because of level of threat in their country),” Albayalde said in a press
conference at Camp Crame.
“So
I asked if probably have training to be conducted here at the PNP and dito
sa mga camps naming (here in our camps) and they are very willing to share
their skills and knowledge,” he added.
The
seminar they attended focused on many challenges the PNP has also been facing
one of which is the threat of terrorism.
“Our
discussion with the Israeli counterparts focused on the challenges being faced
by the PNP, our campaign against terrorism, specifically, the ISIS, and our
continuing efforts to fight this menace,” Albayalde said.
Albayalde
said that the PNP continues to closely coordinate with their international counterparts
in the light of previous terroristic attacks worldwide.
“The
PNP continues to be aggressive in intelligence and information gathering to
address threats and violence,” he said.
Albayalde
said there was no threat of terrorism being monitored in the country, however
the PNP remains vigilant against any terror attack in any parts of the country.
“By
this effort, we greatly recognize the contribution of the international
community as far as terrorism is concerned,” said Albayalde.
