PNP mum on FMJ veto of police reform bill

By Nidz Godino

Silence is Philippine National Police response on President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s decision to veto  bill seeking to reform  PNP.

Marcos had vetoed  bill, saying it ran counter to government’s objective of rightsizing  bureaucracy and would also result in salary discrepancies in  civil service.

Reporters  attended  news briefing at Camp Crame announcing  arrest of Paulene Canada,  co-accused in Kingdom of Jesus Christ case, were supposed to ask Interior Secretary Benhur Abalos and PNP chief Rommel Francisco Marbil for their thoughts about Marcos’ move thumbing down Senate Bill No. 2449 /House Bill No. 8327 or  Act Providing for Organizational Reforms in  Philippine National Police.

Journalists  were barred from asking questions about issues outside of  topic of Canada’s arrest.

Abalos and Marbil left after news conference.

Col. Jean Fajardo,  PNP’s chief information officer, said Abalos and Marbil were rushing to  Chinese General Hospital to commend four police officers who were wounded in an armed encounter with suspected criminals in Manila.

Fajardo will answer queries on other topics after  activity in Manila.

Staff  of the spokesperson later told reporters  she could no longer hold another news briefing as she was instructed to do other tasks.

Reporters asked Fajardo for official statement on issue but she has yet to reply.

House of Representatives will discuss  next step it will take following  vetoing of  chamber-sponsored bill on reorganization of  PNP.

According to Sta. Rosa, Laguna Rep. Dan Fernandez,  chairs  House committee on public order and safety, Speaker Martin Romualdez called his attention to the matter and they will discuss this “thoroughly” after Marcos delivers his State of the Nation Address on July 22.

“Nothing is lost yet, we will act accordingly with  provisions vetoed by the President,” he said in  text message.
