Wala pa raw pinaplanong hakbang ang Philippine National Police sa panawagan ni Former President Rodrigo Duterte kaugnay sa isinusulong na People’s Initiative.
Pero ayon sa isinagawang press briefing ng Department of the Interio and Local Government nitong Martes, Pebrero 6, sinabi ni PNP Chief General Benjamin Acorda, Jr. na wala naman daw iligal sa People’s Initiative.
“If you go to the constitution, there’s nothing illegal about the People’s Initiative. There are three ways of amending the constitution and people’s initiative is one,” saad ni Acorda, Jr.
“As long as there is no corruption, bribery, and anything that is a tank amount to violation of the law or the intent of the constitution, the PNP cannot come in,” aniya.

Dagdag pa ng PNP Chief: “So hangga’t wala pang evident culpable offense committed, the PNP cannot come in as part of upholding the rule of law. And of course, protecting the constitution.”
Matatandaang hinimok ni Duterte ang mga sundalo at kapulisan na protektahan ang Konstitusyon laban sa umano’y pekeng initiative sa ginanap na “Hakbang ng Maisug Leaders Forum” sa Davao City noong Linggo ng Enero 28.
