PNP probes busway incident ‘overshadowing’
The Philippine National Police (PNP) is investigating a leaked internal memorandum concerning strategies to "overshadow" a recent incident where a PNP convoy was stopped for unauthorized use of the EDSA busway.
The memo, purportedly from the Directorate for Police Community Relations (DPCR), allegedly outlines a strategic messaging plan.
The PNP is verifying the authenticity and context of the document, stating its commitment to transparency, accountability, and integrity.
The leaked memo reportedly aimed to prevent further negative public sentiment regarding the incident, which involved PNP chief Police General Rommel Francisco Marbil.
The PNP has stated it does not condone attempts to manipulate public perception or divert attention from matters of public concern and remains committed to accountability.
