<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In a second command conference with the PNP on Tuesday in Camp Crame, President Marcos highlighted the need to create PNP\u2019s legal department that will serve as the defense council of any police officer charged with various complaints.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ll create an office, the legal office within the PNP who will be the defense council of any policeman who is charged with whatever complaint, crime. Mayroon at mayroon silang tatakbuhan kagad na abogado just to give them advice and it will be internal, so hindi na sila magbayad,\u201d President Marcos said.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cPag-aralan natin nang mabuti because ginagawang weapon, wine-weaponize \u2018yung kaso. So, kapag nahuli \u2018yung kriminal, huling-huli na, pero magaling abogado tapos walang kalaban-laban naman \u2018yung ating pulis,\u201d he added.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The President said the government cannot just ignore the welfare of the police officers, especially ordinary policemen and women who dedicated their lives to doing good in the PNP, but cannot afford a lawyer or seek legal services.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n He added the measure also aims to protect the PNP from influential groups harassing the police force.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cThey can afford a lawyer so for one week tapos, tapos na. So we have to provide that kind of protection para naman \u2018yung mga pulis natin, malakas ang loob na gawin \u2018yung trabaho nila. Kahit tama \u2018yung ginagawa nila, hinaharass sila,\u201d President Marcos said.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cKakasuhan sila ng kung ano-ano, some of them are powerful figures. So, syempre, marami silang capability, maraming resources, maraming pera. Marami silang access sa mga sikat na abogado, kailangan mayroon din tayong pang depensa. Yes, we have to protect our people,\u201d he added.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The chief executive said the PNP legal department will be responsible for providing legal advice and other services to the police officers.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n President Marcos led the 2nd PNP Command Conference at the PNP Multi-Purpose Center in Camp Crame in Quezon City on Tuesday, where they discussed PNP\u2019s operational accomplishments and compliance to Presidential directives.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" PRESIDENT Ferdinand R.
