PNP urges victims to file cases over sex-for-quarantine-pass claims

The Philippine National Police (PNP) has not received any complaints regarding allegations of policemen demanding sex in exchange for allowing women to pass through quarantine checkpoints.

PNP spokesman Brigadier General Bernard Banac stated that the PNP needs more details to validate these claims before taking action.

PNP chief Police General Archie Francisco Gamboa urged victims to come forward and file cases against erring police officers, emphasizing that such abuses will not be tolerated.

Gamboa noted that the majority of policemen are dedicated during the health crisis and it is unfair for them to be generalized due to the actions of a few.

The PNP chief called on those with information about these allegations to report them so appropriate actions can be taken against erring officers.
