NAPOLCOM: No place for corruption in this Commission
The National Police Commission (NAPOLCOM) has expressed deep concern and disappointment over Senator Raffy Tulfo's remark suggesting the commission is "nababayaran" or can be bribed.
Tulfo made the remark during a Senate hearing on September 17, 2025, questioning the possible promotion of a police colonel facing a serious case.
NAPOLCOM categorically denied any insinuation of corruption or case-fixing, stating such accusations unfairly cast doubt on the integrity of the institution.
The agency highlighted reforms undertaken to strengthen transparency, efficiency, and accountability.
Vice Chairperson and Executive Officer Rafael Vicente Calinisan ordered a zero-case backlog policy, requiring all new cases to be resolved within 60 days.
Calinisan also ordered a motu proprio investigation into the case of the police colonel mentioned during the hearing.
