NAPOLCOM slams Tulfo’s 'nababayaran' remark
The National Police Commission (NAPOLCOM) has vehemently denied allegations of corruption and case-fixing within its ranks, following Senator Raffy Tulfo's remark that the commission could be "nababayaran" or bribed.
Tulfo questioned the possible promotion of a police colonel facing a serious case, insinuating that NAPOLCOM's decisions may be influenced by money.
In response, NAPOLCOM expressed "deep concern and disappointment" over the senator's comment, calling it "uncalled for" and damaging to the institution's integrity.
The agency categorically denied any insinuation of corruption or case-fixing, stating it has made significant strides in reforming and streamlining its processes for transparency and accountability.
NAPOLCOM Vice Chairperson and Executive Officer Rafael Vicente Calinisan cited measures to clean up the agency, including a zero-case backlog policy requiring all cases to be resolved within 60 days.
