“Don’t get into trouble. Be a police officer, one who is there to serve the people. We have a small salary but that’s the life we chose,” he said during the graduation of public safety officers in Davao City.
“You want money then get out of the police and start a business if you have the money,” he added.
The President cautioned the policemen not to make a mistake of getting involved in the illegal drug trade or they might end up dead. He said he may be “forgiving” for faults committed by policemen except for drug involvement.
“I know all rackets of life, including the rackets of policemen. It’s okay if you commit other wrongdoing. Maybe I will be forgiving,” he said.
