The Philippine interior minister has urged hundreds of top-ranking police to resign as the government seeks to “cleanse” the corruption-tainted force of officers involved in the illegal drug trade.
Police have been waging an anti-narcotics campaign launched by former president Rodrigo Duterte and continued by his successor Ferdinand Marcos.
On Wednesday, interior secretary Benjamin Abalos urged all colonels and generals – about 300 in total in the 227,000-strong police force – to offer “courtesy” resignations after a probe found a “handful” were involved in narcotics.
They could continue working while their records were assessed by a five-member committee. Those found guilty would have their resignations accepted, Abalos said.

I live in the Philippines and I could tell u many powerful politicians who had been involved in drugs for decades had been erased during Duterte’s administration contrary to the report of this small guy that only small time drug dealers had been killed…
Unfortunately, no criminal proceedings came of it. It was clearly Duterte helping other drug dealers overcome rivals or get rid of political “undesirables.” Taga Pinas din ‘toy, so huwag kang umiyak at my ibang tao din pala sa ating bansa…
@MrSlanderer they all deserve to die.taga pinas ka nga pero bobo ka nmn kc nagpapaniwala ka sa balita ng bias media.wala ka kc personal knowledge or due diligence kaya madali ka mauto ng media.

طلبي لدول الشرق الأوسط. أنت توظف عمالا أجانب. إعطاء الأولوية للعمال البنغلاديشيين في هذا القطاع. هؤلاء هم إخوانك المسلمين. – قراءة حج وداع الرسول الحبيب. حج الوداع ، قال الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم أن المسلم أخو مسلم آخر. الاخ الغني سيساعد اخيه المسكين انت بحاجة الى عمال فاستأجر اخوة مسلمين من بنجلاديش كعمال. اتبع كلام الله تعالى ونبي الله تعالى ، وفي أي خطر ، لن يتردد الإخوة المسلمون في بنغلاديش للحظة في التضحية بأرواحهم. يحترمك الإخوة المسلمون في بنغلاديش ويكرمونك كثيرًا. فخور بك. أن نبينا الحبيب حضرة محمد (عليه الصلاة والسلام) من مواليد جامو. لذا أعطوا الأولوية لبنغلاديش من حيث توظيف العمالة.
Similar case can be found in Indonesian police ranks. Prostitution, drugs, gambling and extortion.

Why don’t asked all the government officials to resign from President, Senators to Janitors?
