Cordillera, - A headline from the Washington Post website says "Duterte's police have killed thousands in the Philippines. But this police chief told his officers. Don't kill."

The article featured Igorot cop Byron Allatog, Police Chief of Bogo City who lead his officers in clearing the city they served from illegal drugs.

Byron Filog Allatog is an Igorot from Bontoc, Mountain Province, a member of the Philippine National Police Academy (PNPA) class 2001. 

He is the current chief of police of Bogo City - a small municipality in the island of Cebu.


Prior to serving in Bogo City, Allatog had been a chief of police to different towns and provinces in the country such as in Tawi-tawi, Abra, and Benguet.

Allatog also served as contingent in the United Nations Peacekeeping Efforts and member of the UN-Close Security and Protection Officer of the UN Police Commissioner and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Timor Leste.


He has taken numerous trainings and courses  in policing from different high-level police agencies like the Criminal Investigation and Detective Development Courses by the PNP Detective Schools, Supervisory Management and Criminal Investigation Course from the US Department of Justice, Police Intelligence Officers Course by the PNP Intelligence Training Group and FBI National Academy Session 265 from the Federal Bureau of Investigation(FBI).

39-year-old Allatog gained popularity after his named surfaced in the mainstream media for being responsible in making Bogo City drug free.

In an article published by the Washington post, it described the strategy of Allatog of "don't kill" when dealing with drug suspects. 

The article said "not a single man, woman or child has fallen on Allatog's watch."


His strategy is different, he told his officers that if they shot needlessly or for money, he would not protect them.

"Those are politicians. They don't give a s--- about you,... Your are just a low level officer. If you go to prison, that doesn't affect the economy. They will not care." he warned his men.

Instead, he told his officers to go serve and protect with honor and justice.
