  • As national candidates continue to woo voters, the Department of the Interior and Local Government warned police officers not to engage in partisan politics or they will face prosecution.

The article from The Manila Times, published on February 23, 2025, discusses a warning issued by the Philippine National Police (PNP) to its officers against engaging in partisan politics. PNP Chief General Rommel Francisco Marbil emphasized that police officers must remain neutral and avoid any activities that could be construed as political campaigning or support for any political party or candidate. This directive comes in light of the upcoming elections, where the integrity and impartiality of law enforcement are crucial. Marbil highlighted that involvement in politics could lead to disciplinary actions, including dismissal from service, to ensure that the police force remains a non-partisan entity dedicated to serving the public interest. The PNP is also set to conduct seminars and refresher courses on the rules regarding political involvement to reinforce this policy among its ranks.
