THE Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) will crack down on police officers involved in or abetting illegal drugs.

'I will make sure na ang mga reklamo ay open at paiimbestigahan ko ito at lalo na ang mga scalawags na may koneksyon sa drugs. Tandaan niyo 'yan. Patatanggal ko kayong lahat (I will make sure the complaints are open, and I will investigate this and especially the scalawags with drug connections. Remember that. I will fire you all),' Interior Secretary Benjamin 'Benhur' Abalos Jr. warned during the flag-raising ceremony at the Philippine National Police (PNP) headquarters in Camp Crame, Quezon City.
