CIVIL society organization Task Force Kasanag (TFK) has expressed support to Former Bacolod City Police Office (BCPO) deputy director, Police Lt. Colonel Jovie Espenido amid the controversies that he is facing recently.

TFK National commander John Chong said their organization supports Espenido in his campaign to eliminate drugs and criminality which is also relative to their crusade.

TFK is also against illegal drugs and other criminalities and corruption. In fact the organization has been facilitating in filing cases and prosecution of some individuals and organizations based on the complaints of some concerned citizens.

Chong said about the issues hurled against Espenido within the PNP organization, they will not comment about it since it is an internal affair of the PNP and they have the rules and protocol to follow.

Espenido has been controversial for his campaign against drugs and lately became more controversial when his name was reportedly included in the drug watchlist.

He also got the ire of his superiors for holding a press conference here in Bacolod City despite of the gag order issued against them (those in the drug watchlist) by the PNP chief.
