-- Chief General Guillermo Eleazar has
warned policemen who have mistresses that having extramarital affairs is a
violation of their code of ethical standards, and he will not hesitate to
impose sanctions against them if allegations are proven.
Following this, CIBAC Party-List lawmakers House Deputy Speaker Bro. Eddie Villanueva and Domeng Rivera welcomed initiative of the PNP leadership to crack the whip on policemen who engage in extramarital affairs.
“I would like to commend PNP Chief Guillermo Eleazar for denouncing marital infidelity among the members of our national police. Indeed, the initiative of the PNP leadership to protect the interest of Filipino families by sanctioning marital infidelity is a policy in the right direction,” Villanueva said.
“It will not only restore the respect and moral ascendancy of our policemen, but it will also save our law enforcers from a lifestyle which causes and forces them to commit acts of corruption. Most of all, denouncing marital infidelity will lead the police away from committing such an act that is abominable to God, thus saving our uniformed personnel from the wrath of God,” added the CIBAC lawmaker.
“To complement this PNP effort, we also call on Congress to immediately pass the bill that we filed - the Anti-Marital Infidelity Bill - which seeks to provide the same penalty on sexual infidelity regardless of whether the act is committed by the male or female spouse in contrast to the existing legal framework wherein the adulterous man receives lighter punishment than the erring woman."
For his part, CIBAC Rep. Rivera said marital infidelity is a serious problem in our society which breeds more complicated social issues.
“The lack of virtue and value for the family which the lax anti-infidelity provisions in the Revised Penal Code is actually a root cause of more serious social woes besetting the Filipino community today – from broken families to corruption in the government. We should act now to fix this problem,” Rivera said.
