Justice Secretary Leila de Lima yesterday said she would look into reports if there had been lapses in the handling by policemen of the situation during Thursday’s demolition in Sitio San Roque, Barangay Bagong Pag-asa, Quezon City.
According to De Lima, she would talk with the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) regarding the possible conduct of investigation into the matter.
The Philippine National Police (PNP) is under the supervision of the DILG.
She said while PNP operatives are not to involve themselves during the conduct of the demolition, policemen should not have stood idly by when violence erupted.
The Justice chief said the police should act in the event that there is a “breakdown
of law and order.”.... MORESource: The Daily Tribune
