RATIONALE:

Way back Philippine Constabulary’s time when they dropped

their trust rating because of some few violations of laws most of

them are about brutality and abused of power. And in the early

2000’s where the Philippine National Police also dropped its

trust rating because of bribery and corruption. And now, where

President Rodrigo Duterte is uplifting Police Morality, there are

lots of surveys says that the trust rating of the Philippine

National Police increases.

There are a few factors that we can be considered why this

happens, why is the trust rating to Philippine National Police

increases. Some say because of increasing PNP personnel’s salary,

some say because of Pres. Duterte’s leadership. But in this

study, we will determine those factors by asking San Pableños of

their perception to uplift the Police Morality.

This study is to define what are the good images that our

Philippine National Police is building and what are the negative

traits that the community noticed for the police for them to
avoid those negative traits and to continue to do those beautiful

things.

This study is also to determine the trust rate of the San

Pableños to the Philippine National Police. And for the San

Pableño to appreciate the good works of our policemen to increase

their trust, respect, and love not only to the Philippine

National Police but also to our Country
