MANILA, Philippines — The Department of the Interior and Local Government on Tuesday backed Police Gen. Dionardo Carlos, PNP chief for having a PNP chopper pick him up from the Balesin Island Club in Polillo, Quezon. 

 

In an interview with GMA News TV, DILG Secretary Eduardo Año staunchly defended the country's top cop, saying it was "among the privileges as head of [the] organization" to allow his usage of the police chopper. 

 

"He’s the [Chief of the PNP] and as the CPNP attending to official functions, it is just rightful for him to use the PNP chopper," he said.
