Philippine National Police chief Police General Rodolfo Azurin Jr. on Tuesday apologized over the "Muslim" comments made by policemen during Sunday's hostage-taking incident at the PNP Custodial Center.
“We would like to apologize po sa ating good Senator na well-noted po ang kanyang comment as far as 'yung nangyari po… Thank you for reminding us,” Azurin said. "Kung minsan nagre-responde ka, you either identify or describe po— sino ba 'yung suspect? Ilocano. Sino 'yung ano? Bicolano — para malaman po agad ng mga kapulisan kung sino po ba yung hinahanap natin, that sometimes those are part of the descriptions we attribute po sa criminals, suspects na hinahanap natin,” he said.
“Kung hindi po ito isang anyo ng diskriminasyon, hindi ko na po alam kung ano pa ang itatawag dito [If this is not a form of discrimination, I don't know what it is]," he added.
