(Eagle News) — Umaasa si Senador Panfilo “Ping” Lacson na nababawasan ang katiwalian sa bahagi ng Philippine National Police (PNP) kapag ipinatupad na ang wage increase sa mga otoridad simula sa Enero ng susunod na taon.
Sa Enero muling itataas ang sweldo ng mga uniformed personnel ng PNP at Armed Forces of the Philippines batay sa inaprubahang resolution ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte noong nakaraang taon.
Ayon kay Lacson, doble na ang itinaas sa sweldo ng mga pulis at bumuhos na ang benepisyo sa kanila batay sa pangako ng Pangulo.
Katunayan mula pa lamang sa pagiging kadete hanggang magretiro, may nakukuha silang sapat na suporta sa gobyerno kaya wala nang dahilan para magluko lalo na ang mga pulis at masangkot sa mga kaso ng pangongotong o kidnap for ransom.
“Thanks to the strong political will of President Rodrigo Duterte who almost single-handedly pushed for the same, there is every reason for right-thinking police officers to love and secure their profession, not to mention to be motivated enough to show a debt of gratitude to their Commander-in-Chief who made an almost impossible legislation to pass,” pahayag ng senador.
Nalulungkot naman ang senador sapagkat marami pa rin aniyangg mga pulis ang nadadawit sa katiwalian sa kabila ng mataas na benepisyong nakukuha mula sa gobyerno.
“Looking back, I can’t help but realize how we – starting from our cadetship in the Philippine Military Academy, all the way to retirement from the uniformed service, were fed, clothed, sheltered, and provided with all the logistical support and more – should have no reason whatsoever not to give back all we can, even our lives to government and the Filipino taxpayers who spent for all that we needed,” ayon kay Lacson.
“That is why it is deplorable, to say the least, when we hear of ranking military and police officers who abuse their positions, steal government funds, and even the meal allowances of their men,” dagdag nito.
