Sotto asks PNP: Teach VIP escorts to be respectful to other motorists
Senate President Vicente Sotto III urged the Philippine National Police (PNP) to conduct regular lectures and workshops for their Police Security and Protection Group (PSPG) personnel to ensure they are more polite and respectful when escorting VIPs.
Sotto shared personal experiences where he was inconvenienced or felt endangered by the aggressive actions of police escorts, even when he was in his own vehicle.
He pointed out that PSPG members often demand other vehicles to yield, regardless of who is inside, solely because they are escorting VIPs.
Responding to Sotto's concerns, Senator JV Ejercito mentioned that the number of VIPs requiring police escorts has been significantly reduced to only nine officials, and the use of motorcycles and convoys for escorts has also decreased.
