Nothing will hamper war on drugs – Dela RosaThe Philippine National Police (PNP) has vowed there would be no let up on the war on drugs as allegations of police abuses and brutality became the highlight of the Senate’s first round of public hearings into purported extrajudicial killings and summary executions. Tuloy pa rin!” Dela Rosa told reporters after the hearing. “Our Internal Affairs Services (PNP-IAS) is not slowing down in finding evidence to ensure these erring policemen are indicted…We will go after them,” Dela Rosa told senators during the investigation. “Effective today, I will relieve those people and put them under the administrative holding unit and will order the IAS to conduct an investigation on them,” Dela Rosa said in an interview. Dela Rosa also said he is not at all surprised to hear some policemen are involved in the illegal drug trade.
