(There is no need to kill them, not in all operations. It depends on the situation. A lot of these officers have surrendered and their cases are under deliberation and adjudication by the Directorate for Intelligence.)

Albayalde said Duterte’s move may have been due to frustration that despite the government’s efforts to improve the work conditions of law enforcers, there are still some who refused to stop their illegal activities.

“Makita mo naman even the members of his Cabinet ayaw niya ng corruption, krimen, illegal drugs pero meron pa rin naiinvolve within our ranks even during the time of our chief Bato kaya siya na-frustrate despite his effort ‘yung kagustuhan niya na malinis ang aming hanay ay meron pa rin ganyang naiinvolve sa aming organization probably some sort of merong frustration or disappointment pa para mawala na totally ang problema na ito,” he said.

At least 200 police personnel have been arrested by the PNPCounter-Intelligence Task Force since 2017.
