Police General Nicolas Torre III has spoken out regarding his removal as Philippine National Police (PNP) chief, stressing that sympathy should go to victims of frequent flooding, not to him.
“In spite of my abrupt removal as Chief of the Philippine National Police, okay po ako. Kung mayroon man dapat tayong kaawaan, iyon ay ang milyun-milyon nating mga kababayan na paulit-ulit na nagiging biktima ng palagiang baha,” he stated.
“Sila ang tunay na nangangailangan ng tulong at kalinga sa panahon ngayon, sapagkat hindi naman sila ang dapat laging nagdudusa at naghihirap tuwing tag-ulan,” he added.
In addition, Torre said he understood the President’s tough call for his dismissal. Earlier, Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Jonvic Remulla said a new position was being offered to Torre, which is linked to anti-corruption efforts.
