“It’s a very complicated system, and it’s a very complicated situation. We cannot just act on the basis of hearsays. We have to be very careful because we have to [be] fair. It has to be just,” the President said.
“The police have to be with us. They have to be on our side. We cannot do it without them. It’s that simple. We have to have a good functioning police force,” he said. The evaluation was completed days before the mandatory retirement on April 24 of outgoing PNP chief Gen. Rodolfo Azurin Jr., who is among the panel’s five members.
Officials whose resignations are accepted would be forced to retire, regardless of their supposed remaining years in PNP service.
