“These international criminals are not allowed to stay here in the Philippines. Many of them are mostly part of the international syndicates that try to establish in our country. But through our coordination and collaboration with different government agencies, we will make sure that these criminals will be placed behind bars” said Col. Richmond Tadina, Pangasinan Police director. (Eva Visperas)
