While Azurin admitted their ongoing investigation has “opened a can of worms” about the extent of how illegal drugs had infiltrated the PNP, he was quick to defend the entanglement of his two generals in the controversy. | dexcabalzaINQ /PDI
“Contrary to what many of our critics say, let me categorically say that there was no attempt to cover up or to exculpate [Mayo] from his involvement in the illegal drug operations,” Azurin said.
For the outgoing PNP chief, Abalos should beware and take a second look at his own people, who might be “feeding him misinformation to cast doubt on the integrity of the PNP.”“While I join the good SILG in the fight against erring personnel in the police force, let us focus on the real enemy here—which is the shabu and the drug syndicates,” he said.
We don’t let our differences affect our work.”Asked on why it took a week for him to air his side after Abalos’ unscathing revelations, Azurin said he wanted to give the implicated officials time to explain their side.
