PNP TO UPDATE ANTI-CRIME GUIDELINES

PNP Spokesperson Senior Superintendent Benigno Durana Jr.

QUEZON CITY (July 21, 2018) - The Philippine National Police welcomes the recommendations of Senator Risa Hontiveros and other women's groups on enhancing the way proactive police programs are communicated.

PNP Spokesperson Senior Superintendent Benigno Durana Jr. said "the PNP acknowledges the concerns raised by Senator Hontiveros on the anti-rape tips posted on social media by the Angono Municipal Police Station."

"We agree with the good senator that the guidelines on rape prevention need to be updated with due consideration to gender sensitivity issues," Durana said.

“The updated rape prevention guidelines should include early education of male and female teenagers on rape as a crime, and raising awareness on newer and more dangerous date-rape drugs such as GHB, MDMA and Ecstacy.”

“Early education leads to prevention,” said Durana.

“To be fair with the Angono Police Station, it’s a good initiative. They mean well.”

“While we cannot control criminal motive, we can help prevent it through gender-blind self-education. Both men and women ought to know that no means no, that rape is a serious crime, and that they can go to jail if they violate another person’s human rights.” Durana said. (By Jong Cadion)
