MANILA, Philippines — Police colonels and generals will go through a lifestyle check as part of the Philippine National Police's effort to remove those in their ranks with links to illegal drugs, according to Police Gen. Rodolfo Azurin Jr., PNP chief, in a radio report.

 

A report on Super Radyo dzBB quotes Azurin as saying a lifestyle check is among the ways the five-member panel responsible for reviewing police officials' records will evaluate whose courtesy resignations will be accepted and whose will be rejected.

 

In a separate UNTV report on Monday, Baguio Mayor Benjamin Magalong — a former police general and so far the only member of the panel whose name has been made public —  also said a lifestyle check would be part of the screening process.
