Drug rings target ARMM police

THE Philippine National Police (PNP) has warned its personnel in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) to step up personal security measures as they are being targeted by drug syndicates in revenge over the death of a Maguindanao mayor last week.

PNP chief Director General Ronald ‘Bato’ dela Rosa on Thursday said he has given the instruction to the ARMM regional police after they received reports that the men of Mayor Samsudin Dimaukom of Datu Saudi Ampatuan town will try to get back at the police in the area.
