Section 1 – PNP Anti-Corruption Plan
Considering the magnitude and complexity of corruption problem, a holistic
approach to eliminate this menace is a must. For its part, the PNP hierarchy has
been exhausting all efforts to solve the problem of corruption that pave the way for
the formulation of the PNP Anti Corruption Plan – annex “A”. The PNP AntiCorruption Plan, formulated through a collective effort of the various offices, units,
and stations of the PNP during the PNP Anti-Corruption Workshop in Tagaytay City
on January 19 - 20, 2005, was presented to Her Excellency President Gloria
Macapagal-Arroyo during the 14th PNP Anniversary celebration on January 31,
2005, and copies were subsequently distributed to all PNP units. Contained in the
plan are the PNP identified corrupt practices and the corresponding countermeasures to address these corrupt practices.
The birth of the PNP Anti Corruption Plan is a milestone in the history of the
Organization being the first of its kind that offers a comprehensive strategy to end
the seemingly perpetual corruption problem in the PNP. However, the Plan per se
constitutes only a marginal fraction to the solution. How to implement it makes up
the remaining fraction, a colossal one where the challenge really lies because
normally in any organization, reforms are greeted with indifference or dissent from
some of the members who are apprehensive their personal interest will be
affected/impaired by the program. To succeed therefore, the cooperation and
commitment of every PNP personnel is necessary, setting aside personal motives in
lieu of the objectives of the Plan. For without such cooperation and commitment, the
Anti – Corruption Plan, although excellent in paper, cannot go the distance.
Sometimes the reason why people commit corruption is because of several
flaws of the Organizational system. Because of these flaws, even good people are
tempted to manipulate things for personal gains knowing the probability of being
caught is very remote. To minimize if not eliminate corruption therefore, all flaws of
the system must be fixed. And this is exactly the PNP has been doing as another
approach to curb corruption within the Organization. Since the implementation of the
PNP Anti-Corruption Plan, efforts are exerted to plug all identified loopholes in the
work processes in the Organization. Most notable is the promotion of transparency
in all kinds of transaction in the PNP like: recruitment, placement, and promotion of
personnel; procurement of supplies through bidding; and the like.
The foregoing implies corruption is committed because of two (2) reasons:
human desire and system error. To address corruption therefore, these two(2)
factors must be eliminated and this is what the PNP Anti-Corruption Plan has been
trying to do. Since the launching of the program, the PNP has already achieved
significant gains, both on the human and system factors, based on the latest report
from the different PNP Offices/Units. But much remains to be done as public
expectation is so enormous that the PNP cannot afford to rest lest it cannot catch up
with time. Fortunately for now, as the way events are unfolding, the implementation
of the PNP anti-corruption innovations are still at the right track. For how long the
PNP could stay abreast with the time as against public expectation is the matter only
the PNP members could decide.

Section 1a - Task Force Anti-Kotong
To enhance the implementation of the PNP Anti-Corruption Plan, LOI
05/05 Task Force Anti-”Kotong” – annex “B” – was issued on January 18, 2005
to check PNP personnel engaged in extortion activities including those locally
referred as “kotong”, “hulidap”, and other forms of illegal activities.
The implementation of this LOI carries with it the application of the
Doctrine of Command Responsibility that makes commanders accountable for
what his office does or fails to do. In the workplace, PNP commanders must be
wary of bribery or “lagay” especially in the conduct of investigation that allows
suspects to get off the hook or initiating trumped-up charges to compel the
respondent to shell out money or by materials of value. This includes
deliberate delay or refusal to serve arrest warrants for monetary consideration.
In the street or outside the workplace, the most common is “lagay” committed
along checkpoints victimizing “viajeros” either to facilitate passage or to spare
their truck from getting inspected. Similar illegal act happens during traffic
enforcement: cash for non-issuance of citation ticket, and the like. The worse
is “hulidap” where law enforcers “arrest” an innocent target, plant incriminating
evidence, and forced to “buy” his liberty or face the humiliation of getting
hauled to the police station, booked, and jailed. They also prey on PNP
personnel who seek reassignment or promotion.
These forms of “Kotong” activities by some PNP personnel totally
crumble the credibility of the PNP organization if not quickly and seriously
addressed. The support of the NGOs and the community in general is vital in
achieving the end goal of LOI Anti - Kotong as the complaints and information
can be obtained through coordination and consultation with them. Media
involvement is also necessary in promoting this LOI and in encouraging the
public to relay information relative to “kotong” activities to the authorities.

Section 1b - Honesty Teams
The litany of corruption charges, brought about by the unauthorized
activities of the “bad eggs” in the PNP, who actually comprise a miniscule
segment of the force is plodding the PNP’s overall effort towards the attainment of
its mission and vision. So to salvage the Organization from further denigration, the
C,PNP has committed himself to strictly institute internal reforms in the PNP
which includes the weeding out of erring personnel engaged in corruption
activities. One strategy to eliminate corruption is to make it low reward and high
risk activity. Although the PNP leadership could hardly control the reward
corruption can yield, at least it can make corruption a high risk one. In this
context, the C, PNP has declared to “crack the whip” on all erring personnel who
will not “toe the line” in the command policy of internal reform, and offered “no
mercy” to police personnel involved in criminal activity and irregularities.
To ensure that this national police flagship program will be realized, the
C,PNP has activated the HONESTY TEAMS in the Regional, Provincial, and City
levels that will conduct the operations against erring PNP personnel engaged in
extortion or “kotong”, “hulidap”, mulcting, bribery, and other forms of illegal
activities pursuant to the Letter of Instruction (LOI) 44/06 “HONESTY TEAMS”
issued on August 28, 2006. The HONESTY TEAMS headed by the Deputy
Regional Directors for Operations in the 17 PROs shall absorb all duties and
functions of the TF Anti-Kotong.
The HONESTY TEAMS are tasked to closely monitor the activities and
behavior of police personnel that are assigned to highly-visible posts such as in
.
traffic
law enforcement, checkpoints, patrol operations, and regulatory offices that
issue clearances and licenses to the public. The HONESTY TEAMS shall
likewise insure that “viajeros” or merchants transporting market goods, essential
commodities, and commercial products will not fall victims to “kotong” which
usually add-up to the cost of products in the market.
Parallel with the conduct of operations against PNP personnel involved in
illicit activities, an active and consistent education and information dissemination
campaign shall be initiated in all PROs, prioritizing those police units/offices and
areas of deployment that have been identified to be vulnerable to commission of
misdemeanors, with particular focus on already known target personalities. The
education campaign shall concentrate in inculcating the core values of the PNP
organization in order to avoid the occurrence or commission of illegal acts.
Values Formation seminar shall also be conducted to strengthen the
personnel’s moral suasion for the service over money or things. This is one of the
solutions to control the seemingly growing number of personnel who are
becoming money oriented at the expense of the police service. Worse, some are
even shunning or refusing an assignment if it does not fit to their unpopular
inclination. Nevertheless, the Values Formation Program shall aim to motivate
personnel to effectively perform for the sake of public service sans the monetary
considerations in mind.
4
Since the implementation of the LOI Honesty Teams, a total of thirty five
(35) PNP personnel were criminally and administratively charged for corruption
offenses: 5 PCOs, and 30 PNCOS
The PNP TEXT 2920, PNP hotline 722-0650 (Complaints and Referral
Action Center), walk-in complaints, counter intelligence activities, and dialogue
with concerned sectors, i.e., transport, traders, etc. shall serve as feedback
mechanisms to reinforce the efforts of the PNP in attuning anti-corruption
strategies.

Section 1 - Integrity Development Action Plan
The PNP is participating in the Integrity Development Action Plan (IDAP)
initiated by Presidential Anti – Graft Commission (PAGC) with the assistance of
the US Agency for International Development (USAID). This project is a tool that
will aid the concerned government agencies in assessing and monitoring the
progress of two (2) of the Project Plans – Code of Conduct Project and Agency

On July 20, 2006, the PNP participated in the workshop convened by
PAGC in Diliman, Quezon City. The objective of the workshop is to formulate
anti-corruption projects that can be implemented within two (2) years. In the said
workshop, the PNP came up with two (2) proposals submitted to PAGC for
funding: The PNP Text Anti-Kotong Project of the Directorate for Operations and
the PNP Procurement Monitoring Information System (PPMIS) of the Directorate
for Logistics.
PNP Text Anti-Kotong Project
The PNP Text Anti-Kotong Project aims to reverse the downtrend public
perception towards the PNP. This can be achieved through the collaboration of
NGOs, Media, LGUs, Business Sectors, and other Government Agencies.
The basic concept of the project is to elicit public support to rally behind
the PNP in the fight against corruption or kotong. A special cellphone number is
designated to receive feedback from the public. This can be realized through the
development of a dedicated information system for PNP Text Anti-Kotong. The
PNP Text Anti-Kotong special number will be manned 24/7 to process text
messages in real time. Operating teams who will conduct case-build-up and
entrapment operations are organized in every Police Regional Offices and NCR
District Offices. These operating teams are on stand by 24/7 for prompt response
to kotong complaints. Cases filed against arrested suspects shall be properly
monitored until final verdicts are reached.
All text messages received shall be stored in a data base with the corresponding
results of action taken. Text senders will be informed as to the results
accordingly.
To spice up the project, an advocacy plan shall be developed to enhance public
awareness of the PNP Text Anti-Kotong Project. The advocacy plan shall
include, but not limited to, barangay/school tours, TV and radio programs,
symposia/meetings, billboards, posters, and stickers.
9
Objectives of PNP Text Anti-Kotong Project :
1. To improve public’s perception on the PNP and enhance public’s
confidence in its systems, e.g. 5 percentage point improvement in the net
approval rating of PNP after two (2) years;
2. To enhance public awareness and increase public reporting on
corruption activities perpetrated by government officials/employees, and
accordingly become a high-risk activity; and
3. To enhance public cooperation and stakeholder partnerships.
The Project has four (4) Components:
1. Development of an Advocacy Program for the PNP Text AntiKotong;
2. Development of a dedicated Information System for the PNP Text
Anti-Kotong.
3. Capability building for PNP Personnel who will handle complaints.
4. Partnership with the other Pillars of the Criminal Justice System
and Other Stakeholders.
10
PNP Procurement Monitoring Information System (PPMIS)
The government’s fight against graft and corruption is a continuing
mandate in the entire agencies of the country. It is indeed imperative to note
that the Philippine National Police (PNP) is one vast agency with major
concerns and issues to be addressed in combating such problem. Thus, it is
indeed a great opportunity to be chosen as one of the beneficiaries of the 1
Billion fund project of H.E. President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo for anticorruption.
The most apt innovation is to utilize the Information and Communications
Technology (ICT) such as the World Wide Web (WWW) and the development of
an information system that would centrally monitor and manage the activities
that purportedly being one of the root causes of corruptions in the PNP. By and
large, one of the most vulnerable activities is the procurement and acquisition of
equipment, materials and/or supplies for the PNP Units/Offices. With this
project, adherence to the existing Implementing Rules and Regulations of
Republic Act 9184 (IRR RA 9184) or otherwise known as “The Government
Procurement Reform Act” will strictly be implemented in the organization.
Moreover, an information system will be developed to be called as the
Procurement Management Information System (PPMIS). The PPMIS would be
able to monitor and manage centrally the entire procurement activities from the
PNP National Headquarters down to its Regional Units/Offices.
The proposed project intends to improve public perception of the PNP
through the installation of a responsive public feedback system and the
promotion of integrity and transparency in the procurement process.
This project hopes to strengthen the PNP’s internal systems and address the
findings of the recently concluded Integrity Development Review (IDR) and
accordingly reinforce the PNP’s Anti-Corruption Plan.
This project is focused on one component which concerns in the
development of the PNP Procurement Management Information System that
would automate the procurement process, seamlessly integrate planning,
procurement, and monitoring processes.
11
The specific objectives of the project include:
To improve public’s perception on the PNP and enhance public’s
confidence in its systems, e.g. 5 percentage point improvement in the net
approval rating of PNP after two years;
To improve
procurement process; and
transparency
and
accountability
in
the
PNP
To enhance public cooperation and stakeholder partnerships.
12
Section 2 - Integrity Development Review (IDR)
A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) – annex “D” - between
Ombudsman (OMB), Department of Budget and Management (DBM),
Department of Education (DepED), Civil Service Commission (CSC),
Commission on Audit (COA), Presidential Anti-Graft Commission (PAGC),
Development Academy of the Philippines (DAP), Department of Public Works
and Highway (DPWH), Philippine National Police (PNP), Bureau of Internal
Revenue (BIR), Bureau of Customs (BOC), and Land Transportation Office
(LTO) was formulated on October 7, 2005.
The parties are mandated under the said MOU to develop a resultsoriented transparency and accountability improvement agenda for addressing
areas of the respective operations with critical or high corruption vulnerabilities
in accordance to the policy agenda of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
Among the projects stipulated in the MOU is the conduct of Integrity
Development Review (IDR). The IDR is a project of the Office of the
Ombudsman in collaboration with Presidential Anti-Graft Commission,
Department of Budget and Management, Civil Service Commission,
Commission on Audit, Department of Education, and the Development
Academy of the Philippines.
The IDR is a preventive measure against corruption. It entails a
systematic assessment of the agency’s corruption resistance mechanisms and
its vulnerabilities to corruption, aiming to build institutional foundations to thwart
corruption before it occurs. The objective of IDR is to assist the management
and leadership of the agency to: a) Assess the level of integrity development
with the agency, b) Identify the agency’s vulnerability to corruption, c) Assess
the adequacy of agency’s controls to detect and prevent corruption, d) Prepare
a more focused Corruption Prevention and Integrity Development Plan, and e)
Establish benchmarks by which performance and results of anti-corruption
programs can be monitored.
The IDR has two (2) major tools: Corruption Resistance Review
(CRR), the first stage of the IDR, is a guided self-assessment that provides set
standard levels that each agency can assess itself regarding its efforts to
develop integrity in the workplace. It helps the agency to identify the necessary
steps in achieving a certain level of systems integrity, and it provides a basis for
the examination of agency operations against measures that prevents any
opportunity for corruption, and Corruption Vulnerability Assessment (CVA),
the second phase of the IDR, is a detailed examination of the high-risk activities
and/or functions and the general control environment of the agency, including
the adequacy of existing safeguards.
13
Among the activities in the IDR was the assessment of the agencies anticorruption innovations especially on the following areas: 1) Leadership, 2) Code of
Conduct, 3) Gifts and Benefits, 4) Recruitment and Promotion, 5) Performance
Management, 6) Procurement, 7) Financial Management, 8) Internal Reporting, 9)
Corruption Risk Management, and 10) Managing Interface with Stakeholders.
On the result of the IDR, the PNP fared well on the six (6) areas namely:
Leadership, Code of Conduct, Recruitment and Promotion, Performance
Management, Financial Management, and Managing Interface with Stakeholders.
However, the PNP obtained a poor rating on the four (4) dimensions, namely: 1)
gifts and benefits policy; 2) procurement management; 3) whistle blowing, internal
reporting and investigation; and 4) corruption risk management.
The PNP, through the Program Monitoring Committee – Technical Working
Group (PMC-TWG) of the PNP Anti-Corruption Programs convened a meeting on
September 19, 2006 to address the noted deficiencies. The TWG has so far
undertaken the following:
a. Formulation of the Rules on Gifts and Benefits –annex “E” - to promote
positive values and attitudes within the rank and file, and enhance public trust in
the organization.
b. On procurement management, the PNP has sent five (5) senior PNP
Officers to attend the AFP Logistics Officer Intermediate Course Class 05-2006
conducted by the Air Force Officers School at Villamor Air Base, Pasay City on
October 8 – 14, 2006 to enhance their knowledge and skills on procurement
management. Another initiative of the PNP is the holding of the Annual Logistics
Planning Session. The purpose of which is to formulate the Annual Procurement
Program, and the Project Procurement Management Plan
c. To address the deficiency on corruption risk management, the PNP has
formulated LOI 44/06 “Honesty Teams” on August 28, 2006 purposely to enhance
the anti-corruption campaign of the PNP through a comprehensive program to
weed out erring PNP personnel engaged in extortion activities.
To have a better understanding of IDR, below is the overview presented by the
Development Academy of the Philippines (DAP) and Office of the Ombudsman
during the meeting on December 19, 2006 at DAP, Ortigas Center, Pasig City:
Public office is a public trust. Public officers and employees must
at all times be accountable to the people and serve them with utmost
responsibility and integrity. The impairment of integrity, which includes
wrongdoings that clearly violate legally established and ethically acceptable
practices, is tantamount to corruption.
In the public sector, corruption is defined as the abuse of public
office for private gain. Corruption in government usually comes in the form of
illegal payments to a public official in order to obtain a benefit that may or
may not be deserved in the absence of payoffs (Rose-Ackerman, 1999).
14
“Corruption is an economic crime of calculation,” that is, if the
probability of being caught is very low and the penalty if caught is mild
while the pay-off is large, the temptation for corruption will be very high.
The potentials of a corrupt benefit increases as a function of monopoly power,
amount of discretion and the degree of accountability (Klitgaard, 1998).
Accordingly, “if someone has monopoly power over a good or service, has the
discretion to decide whether who gets that good or service or how much they
get, and there is no accountability whereby others can see what that person is
deciding, corruption is likely to happen.”
Government generally holds monopoly power in the provision of public
goods. Like private monopolists, they can control the supply of these services.
In practice, government officials possess the discretion to determine the
quantity of services to be provided especially when they are the only people
with authority to issue a permit, overlook a violation of the law or grant a
benefit (UNDP, 1997). They can limit the supply even if a service is available
to all who qualify through costly queues or by delaying approvals or
withholding services unless bribes are paid. Or they can increase supply of the
service beyond the officially sanctioned level and make the service available
to applicants with the highest willingness to pay.
Even under an honest
system, discretion remains high when rules are vague and constantly changing.
Ambiguous rules can be modified to create additional opportunities for
corruption. Agents with discretionary powers are highly susceptible to private
individuals and firms, who are willing to pay extra in order to obtain a
benefit or avoid cost.
Conceptually, the agency can constrict internal systems to reduce the
likelihood of corruption, e.g. tightening its recruitment process, raise
personal costs of illicit behavior, reduce the agent’s monopoly powers,
clarify and circumscribe the agent’s discretion, and exact accountability. The
agency can also collect information and intensify monitoring in order to raise
the probabilities of wrongdoings being detected.
The processes can be
redesigned or modified to avoid risks e.g. minimizing direct interface between
agents and clients.
Broad discretion, weak sanctions for corrupt behavior, cumbersome
procedures, lack of service standards, poorly disseminated rules, weak checks
and balances – all create opportunities for corruption. Assessing an agency’s
vulnerability to corruption requires an analysis of its supervision and control
systems, policies and procedures, penalty systems, and high-risk transactions.
The assessment also checks whether safeguards that can forestall wrongdoing are
in place.
The World Bank proposes a four-point framework in reducing an
agency’s vulnerability to corruption: 1) limiting opportunities for corrupt
transactions, 2) decreasing gross gains from corruption, 3) increasing the
probability of detection and paying penalties, and 4) increasing the magnitude
of penalties.
Successful programs to prevention and control corruption normally
involve thorough diagnosis of corruption vulnerabilities. Assessing an
agency’s vulnerability to corruption requires a closer look into high-risk
transactions, policies and procedures, supervision and control systems, penalty
and reward systems. The assessment should also include a review of integrity
development measures and safeguards that can forestall wrongdoings and prevent
corruption.
INTEGRITY DEVELOPMENT REVIEW
Integrity Development Review (IDR) is a preventive measure against
corruption. It aims to build institutional foundations to prevent corruption
before it occurs.
It entails a systematic diagnosis of the corruption
resistance mechanisms in place in an agency and its vulnerabilities to
corruption.
15
The IDR builds on the Corruption Resistance Review (CRR) approach
developed by the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) of New South
Wales and the Corruption Vulnerability Assessment (CVA) tool developed by the
Development Academy of the Philippines. The CRR helps agencies assess their level of
corruption resistance and progressively develop and implement corruption prevention
measures to meet certain standards at every level for organizational integrity. Patterned
after the vulnerability assessment guidelines of the US Office of Budget and Management,
the CVA determines the susceptibility of agency systems to corruption and adequacy of
safeguards to forestall wrongdoings.
Corruption Resistance Review
The Integrity Development Assessment (IDA) is a guided self-assessment that
provides set standards or levels that each agency can assess itself as regards its efforts to
develop integrity in the workplace. It provides a basis for the examination of agency
operations and helps the agency identify the necessary steps in achieving a certain level
of systems integrity.
The agencies as assessed in ten (10) dimensions, which include (1) Leadership,
(2) Code of Conduct, (3) Gifts and Benefits, (4) Human Resource Management (5)
Performance Management, (6) Procurement Management, (7) Whistleblowing, Internal
Reporting and Investigation, (8) Corruption Risk Management, (9) Financial Management
and (10) Interface with External Environment.
For each dimension, agencies can assess their levels of achievement vis-à-vis
a five-point scale. The assessment yields possible steps agencies can undertake to
advance to the next level.
After the IDA, Assessment Teams conducts the Survey of Employees. The
survey is a means to acquire an objective assessment and systematic approach to monitor
and benchmark agency efforts in corruption prevention as perceived by the employees. It
hopes to detect the operationalization and deployment of integrity building measures in the
agency and generate feedback from employees on experiences with these measures,
clarity of agency guidelines and procedures and their effectiveness in preventing
corruption.
The survey involves one hundred (100) randomly selected employees per
agency site and employs the sealed envelope technique.
Corruption Vulnerability Assessment
The second phase of the IDR is the Corruption Vulnerability Assessment
(CVA), a detailed examination of the high-risk activities and/or functions and the general
control environment of the agency, including the adequacy of existing safeguards.
Based on the vulnerabilities identified by the agency or surfaced from the CRR,
a detailed investigation and risk assessment of selected functions, processes, procedures,
activities, and controls is carried out. The assessment involves process mapping,
identification and classification of risks, checking of existing controls, and evaluation of
safeguards. Data and information may be culled from document review, key informant
interview, and process observation, to the extent possible.
16
PURSUING REFORMS THROUGH INTEGRITY DEVELOPMENT (PRIDE)
In its effort to improve governance in the public sector, the leadership of the
Department of Budget and Management and the Office of the Ombudsman initiated the
Integrity Development Review also known as Pursuing Reforms through Integrity
Development (PRIDE) in 2003, which was implemented by the Development Academy
of the Philippines.
With the support of the World Bank, the CVA was pilot-tested in the
Department of Budget and Management in 2002. The IDR was initially implemented at
the OMB and the Department of Education in 2004 with support from the United States
Agency for International Development (USAID).
Under the European Commission (EC)-OMB Corruption Prevention Project,
16 public sector agencies are scheduled to undergo the IDR in two cycles. The 1st
Cycle was completed on August 2006 while the next cycle commenced on December
2006. These agencies include the Department of Public Works and Highways,
Philippine National Police, Bureau of Internal Revenue, Bureau of Customs and the
Land Transportation Office (1st Cycle). The 2nd Cycle include the Department of
Agrarian Reform, Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Department of
Health, Armed Forces of the Philippines, Land Registration Authority, Philippine
Veterans Affairs Office, Bureau of Corrections, Bureau of Fire Protection, National
Irrigation Authority, Light Rail Transit Authority and the Procurement Service.
17
Section 3 – Project Task Force, OMB
The PNP is also participatIng in the anti-corruption activities of the
Project Task Force (PTF) under the Office of the Ombudsman headed by the
PTF Manager Ador G. Paulino. The PTF was established to reinforce the ECOMB Corruption Prevention Project..
The following are the anti-corruption activities of the PTF that shall
complement the anti-corruption efforts of the concerned government agencies:
a. Conduct of Values Formation “EHEM! AHA” Seminar for
Organic Personnel of the participating government agencies, specifically those
members of Bids and Awards Committee (BAC), BAC Secretariat, Technical
Working Group and Inspection Committee;
b. Conduct of a two-day live-in Customer Service Training to
develop and enhance of Agency-Based Hotline/Help Desk System;
c. Conduct of Anti-Corruption Seminar for Middle Managers;
d. Conduct of Procurement Training for Trainers, Observers, and
Monitors to strengthen the integrity structures of the participating government
agencies to the project by developing procurement training manuals, and the
actual training of procurement trainers, observers, and monitors; and
e. Displays of Tarpaulins in a conspicuous places that contain
organizational systems/work flows, mission, vision, and anti-corruption slogans.
18
As of this writing, the PNP has sent three (3) PNP members from the
Office of PCRG to undergo a two-day live-in Customer Service Training to
enhance their skills in manning the PNP hotline. Likewise, the PNP has been
provided 148 pieces of tarpaulins which are already distributed to PROs
containing PNP vision, mission, hotlines, and anti-corruption slogans, to wit:
PNP MISSION:
“The PNP shall enforce the law, prevent and control crimes, maintain
peace and order, and ensure public safety and internal security with the
active support of the community”
PNP VISION:
“A professional, dynamic and highly motivated
Philippine National Police working in partnership with a responsive
community towards the attainment of a safe place to live, work, invest, and
do business in”

Section 3 - International Commitment on Anti-Corruption
United Nation Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC) - Source: UNCAC Primer
The UNCAC is an international treaty on combating private and public
corruption. In its resolution No. 55/61 dated December 4, 2000, the General
Assembly recognized that an effective international legal instrument against
corruption, independent of the United Nations Convention against Transnational
Organized Crime was desirable and decided to establish an Ad Hoc Committee
for the negotiation of such an instrument in Vienna at the headquarters of the
Centre for International Crime Prevention, Office for Drug Control and Crime
Prevention.
The text of the UNCAC was negotiated during seven sessions of the Ad
Hoc Committee for the Negotiation of the Convention against Corruption, held
between 21 January 2002 and 01 October 2003.
The Convention approved by the Ad Hoc Committee was adopted by the
General Assembly by resolution 58/4 of 31 October 2003. The General
Assembly, in its resolution 57/169 of 18 December 2002, accepted the offer of
the Government of Mexico to host a high-level political signing conference in
Merida for the purpose of signing the UNCAC. The Assembly invited all States
to be represented at the Conference at the highest possible levels of
Government.
On the implementation mechanisms, the Convention needs 30
ratifications to come into force. A Conference of the States Parties is
established to review implementation and facilitate activities required by the
Convention.
According to the Transparency International 2006 Corruption Perception
Index, the Philippines was one of the Low-Ranking 46 Countries with regard to
their commitment to the U.N. Convention Against Corruption.
In view of this, the President of the Philippines and different members of
the Senate and OMB, SEPO participated in several processes in the ratification
of the UNCAC on the following dates/schedules:
December 9, 2003 – The Philippines was one of the signatories of
the UNCAC.
37
March 1, 2005 – President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo transmitted
the Convention for appropriate action to Senate.
June 2, 2005 – Senate Committee on Foreign Relations
conducted public hearing of UNCAC.
August 28, 2006 – Transparency and Accountability Network
(TAN) and the Office of the Ombudsman held a dinner dialogue with Senators
Pimentel and Drilon on UNCAC; with special participation of Mr. Dimitri Vlassis
from U.N. Office of Drugs and Crime.
August 29, 2006 – TAN in partnership with OMB, SEPO
conducted public forum on UNCAC at Senate; with Mr. Vlassis as Resource
Person.
August 30-Sept. 1, 2006 – Two-day seminar on UNCAC –
developing local advocates/experts.
September-October 2006 – TAN did the rounds with key Senators
emphasizing the need for the Philippine Senate to ratify the Convention before
November 10.
November 6, 2006 – Senators Miriam Defensor-Santiago and
Edgardo Angara sponsored the Convention in the Senate plenary; UNCAC
passed three readings and obtained 17 approval votes.
November 8, 2006 –Philippine instrument of ratification submitted
and received by the United Nations.
December 10, 2006 – UNCAC 1st Conference of State Parties in
Amman, Jordan.

Letter of Instruction 62/05 (TASK FORCE ANTI“KOTONG”) Updated
See Distribution
REFERENCES:
a. SILG’s four Priority Actions for the PNP particularly on the operation versus
“kotong” cops.
b. PNP Anti-Corruption Plan
c. PNP Transformation Plan
PURPOSE:
This LOI provides the operational guidelines on the intensified campaign against PNP
personnel who are engaged in extortion activities such as “kotong”, “hulidap”, and other
related illegal activities.
SITUATION:
.
Previous surveys ranked the PNP as one of the most corrupt Police organizations in
Asia. This prompted the NHQ PNP to formulate the PNP Anti-Corruption Plan purposely to
reform the PNP. As part of the implementation of the PNP Anti-Corruption Plan, LOI 05/05
that created Task Force Anti-“Kotong” was issued that resulted in the arrest of five (5)
PCOs and eighteen (18) PNCOs for involvement in extortion activities for the period
January to August 2005.
Despite the intensified effort to address corruption in the PNP particularly extortion
or “kotong” in the street and in the workplace, a considerable number of reports from the
public is still received complaining of “kotong” activities of some policemen.
Unless these illegal activities are effectively addressed, the PNP will continue to
suffer from negative public perception.
There is a need, therefore, to intensify further the campaign against these illegal
activities through an updated LOI on Task Force Anti-“Kotong”.
MISSION:
The PNP thru Task Force Anti - “Kotong”, shall conduct intensive operations against
PNP personnel who are engaged in extortion activities including those locally referred to as
“kotong”, “hulidap”, and other forms of related illegal activities.
91
V.
EXECUTION:
Concept of Operation
The PNP Hqs shall strengthen the organization of Task Force Anti - “Kotong” to
effectively act on all reports, information, and complaints of extortion activities such as
“kotong”, “hulidap”, and other related illegal activities of PNP personnel. The TCDS shall head
the Task Force with the Director for Investigation and Detective Management as the Deputy
TF Commander.
While there is a Task Force organized to put to check “kotong” activities, the
PNP unit and station commanders are required to exert an honest to goodness effort to really
eradicate the corrupt practices of some of their personnel both in the street and in the
workplace.
The implementation of this LOI carry with it the application of the Doctrine of
Command Responsibility that makes commanders accountable for what his office does or fails
to do.
In the workplace, PNP commanders must be wary of bribery or “lagay”
especially in the conduct of investigation that allows suspects to get off the hook or initiating
trumped-up charges to compel the respondent to shell out money or by materials of value.
This includes deliberate delay or refusal to serve arrest warrants for monetary
consideration. In the street or outside the workplace, the most common is “lagay” committed
along checkpoints victimizing “viajeros” either to facilitate passage or to spare their truck from
getting inspected. Similar illegal act happens during traffic enforcement: cash for nonissuance of citation ticket, and the like.
The worse is “hulidap” where law enforcers “arrest” an innocent target, plant
incriminating evidence, and forced to “buy” his liberty or face the humiliation of getting hauled
to the police station, booked, and jailed.
These forms of “Kotong” activities by some PNP personnel totally bring down
the credibility of the PNP organization if these are not quickly and seriously addressed. Strict
implementation of this LOI is, therefore, a must to finally eradicate these corrupt practices.
Special Operating Teams of all units and stations must go after the erring PNP members and
should intensify their intelligence and investigative efforts to effectively curb these
malpractices. Sanctions for these misdeeds must be seriously affected to deter others from
committing similar offenses.
The support of the NGOs and the community in general is vital in achieving the
end goal of this LOI as the complaints and information can be obtained through coordination
and consultation with them. Media involvement is also necessary in promoting this LOI and in
encouraging the public to relay information relative to “kotong” activities to the authorities. The
program, “Isumbong Mo Kay Chief, PNP” is one forum where the public could present their
complaints and grievances.
The National Support Units (NSUs) and the Police Regional Offices (PROs)
shall create their own Task Groups with the Chief of the Directorial Staff (CDS) or the Chief
Regional Directorial Staff (CRDS) as Task Group Commander.

Counter-Measures:
Initiate a more aggressive intelligence and counter-intelligence efforts on
suspected/reported “kotong” with the objective of identifying their runners/collectors, PNP
personnel involved, other abusive law enforcement agents (e.g. LTO, MMDA, local traffic
aides/enforcers) and their modus operandi.
Continuing patrols in areas where “kotong” activities are reportedly being
committed or rampant with the intention of preventing and/or neutralizing perpetrators of such
activities.
Commanders at all levels must exercise their disciplinary authority expeditiously over their
personnel at all times and must be able to resolve at their level cases of “kotong” activities.
Encourage a thorough information campaign to vulnerable targets of “kotong” activities such
as “viajeros” and the like to report perpetrators and to participate without fear in their
prosecution.
Strengthen and intensify the implementation of this LOI and encourage total
involvement within the command. Unit Commanders should be stricter in supervising and
monitoring their personnel and their patrol areas and establish control measures to check
their activities.
In areas where there are minimal activities of threat groups, as far as
practicable, checkpoints should be discouraged. Instead, mobile patrols must be increased.
Motorcycle riding cops and personnel manning legitimate checkpoints should not be allowed
to wear PNP black jackets so that they can be easily identified in their uniform. As an
essential factor to strengthen the Task Force Anti-“Kotong” a more holistic approach such as
involving the participation of other law enforcement agencies on the street and in the
workplace, becomes an imperative.
VI. TASKS:

PNP Anti-Corruption Plan.
II. PURPOSE:
This LOI prescribes the operational guidelines to be followed by the police
units in enhancing the image of the Philippine National Police through a
comprehensive program to weed out erring PNP personnel engaged in extortion or
“kotong”, “hulidap”, mulcting, bribery, and other forms of illegal activities.
III.SITUATION:
Despite the government intensified anti-corruption campaign, the NHQ PNP is
still receiving numerous complaints from the general public of extortion or “kotong”,
“hulidap”, mulcting, bribery, and other forms of illegal activities by some PNP
members in the street and in the workplace.
These illegal activities usually occur but not limited on the following: during
the conduct of an investigation; issuance of PNP clearances/licenses; traffic
violation; illegal vending; and delivery of goods, fruits, vegetables, livestock,
meat/fish by traders or “viajeros”. Some are involved in “hulidap” or arresting
people on trumped-up charges and demanding settlement money. They also prey
on PNP personnel who seek reassignment or promotion.
IV. MISSION:
The NHQ PNP through the Police Regional/District (NCR)/Provincial/ City
Offices shall organize “HONESTY TEAMS” to conduct an intensive nationwide
campaign against erring PNP personnel engaged in extortion or “kotong”, “hulidap”,
mulcting, bribery, and other forms of illegal activities.
97
V. EXECUTION:
a. Concept of Operations
The operational concept of this LOI consists of three (3) components: (1) Target
Areas/Personalities Acquisition; (2) Reinforcement of PNP Core Values; (3)
Neutralization Operations.
Diligent intelligence gathering shall be undertaken to identify the units/offices and
areas of deployment, susceptible to acts or transactions that might lead to extortion or
“kotong”, “hulidap”, mulcting, bribery, and other forms of illegal activities including the
personnel who are likely to commit or those who are already involved in such illegal
acts.
Active and consistent education and information dissemination campaign shall be
initiated in all PROs, prioritizing those police units/offices and areas of deployment that
have been identified to be vulnerable to commission of misdemeanors, with particular
focus on already known target personalities. The education campaign shall concentrate
in inculcating the core values of the PNP organization in order to avoid the occurrence
or commission of illegal acts that are subject of the LOI.
Those involved or who will persist in their nefarious activities will be arrested and
criminally charged without prejudice to administrative sanctions.
The PNP TEXT 2920, walk-in complaints, CI activities, and dialogue with
concerned sectors, i.e., transport, etc. shall serve as feedback mechanisms to reinforce
the efforts of the PNP in formulating strategies to rid corruption within its ranks.

Section 2, RA 6713 provides that: “It is the policy of the State to promote a
high standard of ethics in public service. Public officials and employees shall at all times
be accountable to the people and shall discharge their duties with utmost responsibility,

Likewise, Section 4 (b) provides that: “Public officials and employees shall
perform and discharge their duties with the highest degree of excellence, professionalism
intelligence and skill. They shall enter public service with utmost devotion and dedication
to duty and shall endeavor to discourage wrong perceptions of their roles as dispensers
or peddlers of undue patronage.”
4.
Moreover, Section 7 (d) of the same act provides that: “Public officials and
employees shall not solicit or accept directly or indirectly, any gift, gratuity, favor,
entertainment, loan or anything of monetary value from any person in the course of their
official duties in connection with any operation being regulated by or any transaction
which may be affected by the functions of their office.”
5.
In the light of Her Excellency’s thrust on the three (3) significant pillars of
good governance, namely: a sound moral foundation; a philosophy of transparency in all
transactions; and an ethic of effective implementation, PNP personnel shall extend
prompt, courteous and adequate service to the public guided by the principle that “Public
office is public trust”.
