We must worry now about the entire PNP barrel

The old proverb says, “A rotten apple spoils the barrel.” It means that a bad person influences everyone he or she comes into contact with, making them bad, too; or a bad person or policy, etc., can ruin everything around it.

The shocking abduction and murder of a Korean businessman by PNP police personnel within the premises of Camp Crame, the headquarters of the Philippine National Police (PNP) acutely reminds us of the truth of the proverb, and its possibly even more alarming implication.
