PNP sustains anti-corruption campaign AUTHORITY : BENJAMIN B MAGALONG Police Chief Superintendent Regional Director, PRO-COR RELEASER : DAVY VICENTE M LIMMONG Police Superintendent Chief RPIO, PRO-COR [email protected]/09176273373 PNP sustains anti-corruption campaign CAMP BADO DANGWA, La Trinidad, Benguet August 06 - According to the latest Global Corruption Barometer (GCB) of the anti-corruption watchdog Transparency International (TI), the Philippine National Police (PNP) is the most corrupt institution in the country. With the leadership of Director-General Allan La Madrid Purisima, issues on corruption within the PNP are immediately addressed even without the survey of the Global Corruption Barometer. From January to June this year, a total of 154 officers and men with 128 various cases, were already administratively and criminally charged by the PNP. For the same period, 95 PRO-COR personnel were administratively charged of which 11 were dismissed, 4 demoted, 33 were suspended, 8 dropped from the rolls, 7 were reprimanded and 30 were exonerated in Cordillera. Director-General Purisima sustained and strengthened the Integrated Transformation Program-Performance Governance System (ITP-PGS) or the PNP P.A.T.R.O.L. Plan 2030 which was enhanced further by his Strategic Focus “CODE-P:2013 and beyond.” The PNP has also installed several safety measures in its systems and instituted fiscal reform procedures to eliminate graft and corruption and prevent possible situations and opportunities for corruption in police operations. The PNP has been consistently cited as among national agencies which are compliant with the national government’s Performance Governance System in terms of transparency, accountability and organizational reforms to eliminate corruption. It has vowed to continue with its reform program in order to regain the support and trust of the public. Sensitive issues such as corruption by PNP personnel can be dealt with more effectively if the public becomes a constant partner in the monitoring and reporting of policemen who commit or are suspected to have committed corruption, extortion or abuses. The public is encouraged then to help the police by reporting relevant information through the following PNP PRO-COR hotlines:(074) 422-5515 or Text 09175302695/ 09285591669 or visit our website at procor.pnp.gov.ph and post your comment.###
