 9 hours ago
MAY 28, 2018 – Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief General Oscar Albayalde said human rights is still foremost in the police’s campaign against drugs and asserted that the police force is not lacking in training about human rights awareness in their operations.
“The rules of engagement is paramount in every police operation, and respect for human rights is one of them,” he said.
The Police Chief added that this is the reason why police operatives are instructed to conduct outright investigations into cases that are perceived as unjustly executed or were done without due process.
But while he raised the issue of respect for human rights, Albayalde also said the safety of police operatives is equally important and this is required in situations that are too dangerous during police operations.
In his talk with The Chiefs hosts Amy Pamintuan, Ed Lingao and Roby Alampay on One News Cignal TV News Channel, Albayalde said police safety and protection is stipulated, “but what happens on the ground if there is danger on the part of the operatives is something that we cannot control.”
Albayalde was the featured guest in “The Chiefs” premier episode of the talk show that airs at 8:30 p.m. on One News Cignal TV 8 and 250 (HD).
“There have been 608 cases of violations of human rights involving policemen and this is a good indication that we are not tolerating any wrongdoing,” he said.
Albayalde said the PNP will continue with what has been started in the war on drugs because it has been a good one especially in the improved tokhang and buy-bust procedures.

PCG: China’s bullying in West Philippine Sea undermines international law --- Ghio Ong - The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines — Letting China sustain its aggression in the West Philippine Sea would make other countries doubt the strength of international law currently being asserted by the Philippines, Commodore Jay Tarriela of the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) said. “Allowing China to blatantly disregard the established rules-based order threatens the very foundation that we all depend on,” he wrote in a post on X last Tuesday. He added, “If we permit this, countries worldwide may forget why this order was created in the first place. Nations could begin to doubt the significance of adhering to international law if powerful bullies can easily violate it.” Tarriela also said defiance of other countries to a rules-based order would result in the prevalence of cruelty. He wrote, “This could lead us back to a time when might makes right, undermining the global structures that keep human greed, savagery and barbarism in check. Such a scenario would not only invite challenges from aggressive ...

Social media seen as cause of rising intermarriages --- Helen Flores - The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines — The Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO) sees social media as the main reason for the rising number of Filipinos marrying or becoming partners of foreign nationals. In 2022, the CFO recorded 6,854 marriages or partnerships with foreign nationals, a 40.1 percent increase from the 4,891 “intermarriages” recorded in 2021. “First of all, what we see in the increase in the marriage rate of Filipinos or Filipinos with foreign partners is because of social media, (that) is number one; matchings; letters, introduction of their friends,” CFO chairperson Romulo Arugay said at the Bagong Pilipinas Ngayon public briefing yesterday. Arugay said the agency has been registering a high number of intermarriages since 2007, but the figures went down during the COVID-19 pandemic. From over 6,500 Filipinos who married foreign nationals, only 600 are men, he said. Most of them are married to Americans, Japanese, Germans, Canadians and Australians, Arugay said. Arugay warned Fi...
