The tough-talking President of the Philippines, Pres. Rody Duterte made a proposal to use the controversial budget of the Commission on Human Rights (CHR), if ever the ₱1,000 budget for them could be finalized. Pres. Duterte suggests to use the P600-Million to buy the much needed body cameras for the PNP.
The President made the statement during his speech after he introduced SPO2 Caneta Rupinta who was released by the New People's Army (NPA) after it's captivity. The press presentation of the former hostage was made at the Matina Enclaves in Davao City on September 16, 2017.
Watch the Press Statement of Pres. Duterte:
According to Pres. Duterte the ₱600-M can supply body cameras to all police officers and it can make all the anti-crime operations more transparent.
The 72-year-old President was quoted as saying "Kung ayaw niyong isauli ang pera diyan sa CHR, why don’t you invest the money to buy equipment for the police, na lahat ng pulis sa Pilipinas it’s about 600 million (pesos) and it can buy it all.. na lagyan sila lahat 24 hours a day ng camera," The President told the Congress.
Pres. Duterte said that the PNP can remove the cameras on their body if ever that there's no operation to avoid invading their privacy. The former Mayor of Davao City also said that equipment for the Police force were badly needed because the Philippines is already a narco-state.
“The fact that we have mayors and everybody clinging to power in decades, it’s because pinapatay nila yung mga kalaban nila, there’s no election.. pati yung pulis na ayaw sumunod sa kanila pinapatay nila..binabaon nila..” Duterte said.
