Cayetano: People Support PNP's Efforts to Rid Country of Drugs and Contain Criminality

Cayetano: People support PNP’s efforts to rid country of drugs and contain criminality


Senator Alan Peter Cayetano expressed confidence that the nation supports PNP Chief Director General Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa and the PNP leadership in their efforts to reform the country’s police force, and to make it more effective in the war against drugs and criminality. 

"Do not despair, the people are critical but are behind you," Cayetano told Dela Rosa.

Cayetano said while he has asked Congress to act and improve the salary and benefits of the Philippine National Police (PNP) and the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), Congress has been and should be critical of the scalawags in the organization. 

“Nonetheless, it is still Congress’ duty to at least provide uniformed personnel with an amount that covers the cost of living, and to provide orphaned families of those killed or wounded in action with enough to make ends meet and send dependents to good schools,” he said.

Cayetano also urged the citizenry to continue to support the efforts of the PNP leadership to cleanse its ranks of rogue policemen and scalawags by helping identify the corrupt officers involved in criminal activities, particularly in the illegal drug trade. 

“We trust in the leadership of the PNP and we will do all to support his efforts and initiatives to reform the organization with the same intensity as Senator Panfilo Lacson did when he was Chief PNP,” Cayetano said. 

He lamented that there are still those who are part of the organization who continue to use their uniform for criminal activities, protecting drug operations and illegal gambling. 

“DG Dela Rosa’s efforts  to cleanse the ranks of PNP belie the administration’s critics that the government tolerates extrajudicial killings and corruption,” he added. 

The senator said he believes the government will not rest until the PNP has been effectively reformed, to help the President win in his fight to suppress crime and illegal drugs, problems that continue to plague our nation.#


CAPTION:

Senator Alan Peter Cayetano consoles PNP Chief Director General Ronald "Bato" Dela Rosa, as he expressed his confidence that the people continue to trust and support the PNP leadership's ability to reform the police force and to make it more effective in the government's campaign against crime and illegal drugs.

ISRAEL is willing to work with the Philippine government in its campaign to rid the country of what it has termed as a widespread drug menace that is affecting millions of Filipinos.
Israel Ambassador Effie Ben Matityau said no country is spared of the illegal-drugs problem and that they are willing to cooperate and share their know-how in handling the issue with the administration of President Duterte.
“The illegal-drugs trade is global.  It is an industry that is present and being distributed worldwide. It is a constant struggle against its supply and infrastructure.  We are willing to share information and best practices. We can all learn from one another,” Matityau said.
He added: “Socially and economically, illegal drugs combine to make a disaster.  It is a major destabilizer of society.  It can destroy families.”

Matityau even said in the Middle East, the spread of illegal drugs can even be directly related to terrorist groups.
However, Matityau said the problem of illegal drugs differs from one country to another and that there is no singular solution to the menace.
“The nature of illegal drugs varies in every country.  You cannot copy what is being done in another country but you can learn elements, methodology and techniques from them,” he said.
Matityau said the best solution toward controlling the illegal-drugs problem is through education, as he believes it can act as a preventive measure in its use spread.
He also said to reduce the number of drug users, there has to be a deep level of cooperation between the government and non-governmental organizations.
Still, Matityau said they are able to control the drug menace from spreading in their country through good police work.
“We are a small society of just 8 million people. It is not a major epidemic. Still, law-enforcement operation is vital and gathering of intelligence is a serious issue,” he said, while adding that in principle they do not have a death penalty in their country even for terrorists.
According to Matityau, the youth in Israel are the most vulnerable to the drug menace.
“They young are very impressionable young people.  It is not a major percentage but it can get serious from time-to-time,” he said.
After drawing the anger of the international Jewish community, President Duterte has apologized for drawing a parallel to how Adolf Hitler massacred 6 million Jews during World War II and his plans to kill 3 million Filipinos who use or are involved in illegal drugs.

MANILA — The Quezon City Police District is now investigating just how big the drug network actress Krista Miller has worked for and in, according to the QCPD chief, Senior Supt. Guillermo Lorenzo Eleazar.
The actress known for her roles in the sex-themed films “Hukluban” and “Kabaro” was embroiled in a controversy in 2014 when she was caught on camera visiting convicted drug lord Ricardo Camata in a hospital. She denied doing sexual favors nor delivering drugs to Camata saying she was just offering him a condominium she was selling.
Asked if Camata was indeed the source of the drugs that Miller was selling, Eleazar said police have been looking into that information.

“We are looking into how broad her network is,” the QCPD director added. He also mentioned that Miller has given him a list of clients, including celebrities.
Miller’s arrest was a low point in her scandal-tainted life of late, which included getting dragged as a third party in the separation of celebrity couple Sunshine Cruz and Cesar Montano in 2013.
Miller was arrested in a buy-bust operation conducted by the Quezon City Police District (QCPD) on Friday night after she was identified by two arrested female models for a men’s magazine as their source of shabu.
In a press conference at Camp Karingal on Monday, the QCPD chief, Senior Supt. Guillermo Lorenzo Eleazar, said the 26-year-old actress, whose real name is Krystalyn Engle, was nabbed during a follow-up operation in Valenzuela City on Friday night.
Operatives of the District Anti-Illegal Drugs (DAID) unit scheduled a purchase with Miller and her cohort Aaron Medina at around9:10 p.m. at the Shell Station along General Tiburcio de Leon Street near Santolan Road.
The undercover policemen were able to buy a sachet of shabu costing P3,000 from Miller and Medina. They were immediately arrested after the trade was completed.
Eleazar said the operation on Miller was carried out after the two female men’s magazine models pinpointed her as their seller of shabu.
Liaa Alelin Bolla, 24, and Jeramie Padolina, 30, were arrested in drug bust early Friday in a house located at 21 A. Luna Street, Bagumbahay in Project 4. Residents in the area reported to the police that the residence was being used as a place to sell drugs and where customers flock daily.

Policemen from the QCPD Station 8 conducted a buy-bust operation and nabbed the owner of the house John Inri Barros and two other sellers Justine Del Rosario and Renato Hernandez Jr. The two models were also discovered inside the residence and the police found illegal drugs and other parahernalia from their possession.
Seized from the five suspects were seven sachets of shabu, a sachet of marijuana, aluminum foil strips and an improvised glass tube pipe.
Aside from these evidence, the police also gathered vital information from the suspects about their suppliers of shabu. Bolla and Padolina pointed at Miller while the three male suspects identified couple Ambay and Muhiddin Sandigan as their source of illegal drugs.
The husband and wife were arrested in a follow-up operation on Saturday in Brgy. Pinagbuhatan, Pasig City. They are said to be known suppliers to other sellers in Quezon City.
Miller, who was asked for a reaction on her arrest, told members of the media on Monday that she did not want to comment on her arrest.
Bolla, however, confirmed that she personally knew Miller and bought shabu from her.
Miller and the five male suspects arrested have been charged with peddling illegal drugs while the two models, Bolla and Padolina, were charged with possession of drug paraphernalia. The authorities also said Miller tested positive for drugs.  SFM

Cayetano: Duterte's War on Drugs a War to Protect Human Rights



Office of the Senator
Alan Peter S. Cayetano
Rm. 602 GSIS Complex Senate of the Philippines Roxas Blvd Pasay City
         

PRESS RELEASE

Cayetano: Duterte’s war on drugs a war to protect human rights, ensure safety & welfare of Filipinos


“Our war against illegal drugs is not a war against life, but a war to fight for the lives of all Filipinos. It is not a war against human rights, but a war to protect human rights, and to ensure the safety and welfare of the Filipino family."

 Senator Alan Peter Cayetano stressed this in his privilege speech on Wednesday (August 31) amid false reports in foreign press about human rights issues in the conduct of the administration’s intensified campaign against illegal drugs.

Contrary to claims of the Commission on Human Rights,  Cayetano said the government’s strong policies against criminality have made it possible for Filipino families to begin feeling safer, particularly since the government waged an all-out war on drugs.

The senator reiterated that President Rodrigo Duterte has not wavered in his commitment to uphold and protect the human rights of every Filipino at any time, contrary to what the President’s critics are trying to portray. 

He added the government’s unrelenting campaign against illegal drugs has actually improved the country’s peace and order situation.

“Narinig po natin sa sariling bibig ng ating Pangulo na ang human rights ay importante sa ating bansa. Pero hindi pwedeng gamitin ang human rights para hindi ituloy ang drug war,” Cayetano said. “If you listen to the President’s speeches… palagi niyang sinasabi that he will operate within the confines of the Philippine Constitution. He will respect the Bill of Rights and the rule of law,” he intoned. 

The senator pointed out that the drug menace has reached alarming levels that nothing short of bold and swift solutions are needed to end the problem.

He said criminality was already rampant under previous administrations at the rate of almost 1,000-2,000 incidents of murders and homicides every month. The only difference, he said, is that in the past, innocent citizens were  hounded and victimized by hardened criminals and drug pushers. But today, it’s the law that’s hounding the drug pushers and criminals, he noted.

“Don’t you feel safer today than six years ago? Wala pong sense of security ang Pilipino dati… Dati, ang takot ay ang tao… Ngayon, nararamdaman ng mga tao ang pagbabago... Ngayon ang kriminal na ang takot, hindi ang mamamayan.” he said.

Cayetano also denounced Duterte’s detractors’ penchant to blame the administration for all the drug-related killings in the country. He said the slack use of  “extrajudicial killings”  (EJKs) to label all suspected drug casualties puts in question the motive behind the investigation being conducted by Sen. Leila De Lima’s Committee on Justice.

“Are some people using the term EJK loosely not because they are human rights advocates… [but] to discredit the PNP and the Duterte administration?” Cayetano asked as he reiterated his call for De Lima to inhibit herself from the inquiry.

Cayetano said labeling the deaths of drug suspects as EJKs is obviously meant to create the wrong perception that the State is initiating the executions and is doing nothing to resolve the crimes. 

“The State, the executive department, legislative department, and the judiciary, are doing its best to ensure that the rule of law prevails. Even the Commission on Human Rights (CHR) is part of the state and is already investigating,” the senator pointed out.

Cayetano, meanwhile, said he remains confident of President Duterte’s continuous efforts  to uphold human rights while also ensuring the safety and protection of all families.
