(Eagle News) — The leadership of the Philippine National Police (PNP) said it was not surprised with the announcement of President Duterte on the alleged involvement of the five police generals.
PNP chief Director General Ronald dela Rosa said they already have information about the said police generals mentioned by the President.
Duterte identified these five police officials as linked to drugs: retired Deputy Director General Marcelo Garbo Jr, former National Capital Region Police Office director Chief Superintendent Joel Pagdilao, former Quezon City Police District Office director Chief Superintendent Edgardo Tinio, former Western Visayas police chief Chief Superintendent Bernardo Diaz, and Vic Loot, who is now mayor of Daanbantayan, Cebu.
The five police generals have already been relieved from their posts since Friday, July 1, a day after President Duterte’s inauguration and after PNP chief Dela Rosa assumed his post.
All five generals have already denied this allegation of drug involvement in separate media interviews.
