The Philippine national police chief said Thursday he has offered to resign to encourage nearly a thousand other ranking police officials to do the same to regain public trust after some enforcers were arrested due to illegal drugs, further tainting the police force's notorious image.
Interior Secretary Benjamin Abalos Jr. on Wednesday appealed to all police generals and colonels to submit their “courtesy resignations” in a drastic move to improve the police force's image after law enforcers in the frontlines of the drug crackdown were caught engaging in drug dealing.
