Kailangan hindi sila malulugi sa kanilang transaction. But at the same time, we also see to it that our policemen are in good moral standing. Kapag mangutang ka, bayaran mo. Wala kaming pakialam kung sino may kasalanan, yung nangutang ba o inutangan. Basta huwag kaming idadamay sa problema,&quot; he said.The PNP&#x27;s Committee on Accreditation and Automatic Deductions is set to meet with the six multipurpose cooperatives tomorrow.
