PNP STATEMENT
The Philippine National Police acknowledges the recent disclosure by the Office of the President regarding allegations of a “ghost flood-control project” in Davao Occidental. We take these reports with utmost seriousness and remain fully committed to ensuring that justice is pursued, public funds are safeguarded, and all accountable individuals are brought before the law.
Consistent with our mandate to uphold law and order, and following the Ombudsman’s filing of criminal information against those implicated, the PNP stands ready to serve the warrants of arrest once issued by the Court. All actions will be carried out with full adherence to due process, respect for human rights, and the presumption of innocence.
We likewise express our full support for the ongoing investigations led by concerned government agencies. The PNP stands ready to assist in evidence-gathering and other processes necessary to advance the truth and preserve public confidence in the justice system.
We encourage citizens—particularly those with direct knowledge or relevant information—to cooperate with authorities. Transparency and community involvement are vital to ensuring accountability and protecting public resources.
The PNP remains steadfast in its commitment to the rule of law, professional service, and the fight against corruption. We will continue to serve and protect the Filipino people with fairness, integrity, and dedication.
Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman.
