Albayalde admits changing ‘culture' of corruption in police won't happen in his term

PHILIPPINE National Police (PNP) Chief Oscar Albayalde admitted that he could not change the "culture" of corruption among policemen under his term despite a stricter internal cleansing program  but remained hopeful that his efforts would be "substantial" to start change.

"We don't understand [why policemen commit illegal activities] that's why probably it has become a culture in the PNP and when you're trying to change the culture, it is really hard and it cannot be changed overnight," Albayalde said.
