MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine National Police warned local unit commanders that sanctions would be waiting for them if they do not follow the organization's intensified cleanliness policy. Police Gen. Guillermo Eleazar, PNP chief, issued the warning after the PNP Internal Affairs Service conducted a surprise inspection at a police station in Mandaue City, Cebu and found a mess. "This should hopefully serve as a warning that this happened at a police station in Cebu. Our policemen should always remember that it is not only the PNP and the IAS observing our police stations," he said in Filipino. In a statement, the PNP said that the IAS on Saturday, June 26, "found a dirty police station manned by an insufficient number of police personnel" when it conducted its inspection.
