Sixth Pillar: Upgrading Military and Police
August 21, 2021“The Philippine National Police should be governed under a different set of laws than the civil service.”
Gibo firmly believes that the police should not be under the Civil Service Law since they are armed government officials. Therefore, he pushes for a reform of their structures to lessen the chances of police abusing their power, and to ensure that they strictly use their weapons against criminality alone.
He also seeks to enhance the budget of the military and the police which will be used to strengthen their capabilities so they can be more equipped to protect their country.
Gibo adds, “I would like to see someone enact the Uniform Code of Military Justice.”
