Police: No ‘order of battle’
against drug personalities
BY JUDY F. PARTLOW
The Philippine National Police in Negros Oriental has denied reports that it is maintaining an “order of battle” against suspected drug pushers and drug users in the province.
Provincial police director, Senior Supt. Rey Lyndon Lawas, issued the statement yesterday to clarify that the term “order of battle” is not being used by the PNP as it has a negative connotation.
Lawas’s statement comes on the heels of a media report that said that during a recent meeting with the Negros Oriental Drug Abuse and Prevention Council it was mentioned that a seminar for police personnel was in the offing to “update the order of battle” of the PNP, and monitor individuals and groups involved in drug trafficking.
