Roque Urges Criminology Students to Uphold the Law, Fight Illegal Drugs

Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque urged the Criminology students of Tarlac State University (TSU) to uphold the law and combat illegal drugs.

“You know our President’s stand on illegal drugs. He promised to suppress prohibited drugs and (this) has been fulfilled.  But then, I call all the criminology students, our future policemen to uphold the law and right to life,” Roque said during Friday’s visit in TSU.

He likewise encouraged the future police officers to take part in ensuring safety and tranquility in the community.

Meanwhile, Roque clarified to the students the issue on human rights violation because of the killings in the campaign against illegal drugs.

“First of all I just want to clarify, the use of force is not prohibited by the law. They (policemen) also have the right to live. So the use of force is not prohibited in government people when there is a need and proportionality,” he emphasized.
