This was apart from the 60 policemen on the National Police Commission’s list President Rodrigo Duterte has ordered to be sacked.

“Lahat ng gumagawa ng kalokohan mananagot so siguro g*g* na lang talaga sila kung gagwa pa sila ng kalokohan. Alam nila madidismiss sila and ngayon nataaasan sweldo namin, sayang kung magpadismiss sila,” Dela Rosa said.
