‘No leniency for rogue cops’
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. challenged the newly promoted Philippine National Police star-rank officers to be agents of positive change.
In his speech at the officers' oath-taking in Malacañang, Marcos emphasized the importance of public trust and community engagement for effective law enforcement.
He said there would be no space for police officers who would damage the PNP's reputation.
"Mark my word, there will be no room for leniency for those who engage in acts that tarnish the reputation of our police and jeopardize the safety of our people," Marcos said.
"To our new officers here, I urge you to keep your integrity at all times and remain steadfast in your commitment to public service amid the many challenges your institutions face," he said.

He called on the officers to bring the PNP closer to the communities as the Filipino people expect the police to be capable, professional, and responsive to their needs.
Marcos also called on the PNP to free itself of any form of corruption and abuse so it could earn and maintain the trust, confidence, and admiration of the people.
"Once again, I must emphasize our zero-tolerance policy for corruption and human rights abuses within the PNP," he said.
