“We belong to the PNP, we are one family so we are ready to help,” SAF spokesperson, Capt. Jonalyn Malnat,said in an interview.

The PNP spokesperson explains that the training of the SAF forces is more than enough to be an asset of the government in its campaign eradicating illegal in the streets.

“If there is an order for the SAF to actively help in the campaign against illegal drug lords, then we will do it because ending the illegal drugs operations in the country is what President Duterte wants (to achieve),” Malnat said.

PNP chief of directorial staff Lt. Gen. Guillermo Eleazar, earlier said since SAF is known for excellent tactical offensives, it could be involved in planning the raids and implementation of search warrants on known lairs of drug lords.

“Drug lords will certainly fight it out because what they are protecting is a multibillion industry, this is where SAF would play a key role in showing them that SAF is not something that they could mess with,” Eleazar said
