Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, January 5) — Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Rodolfo Azurin Jr. on Thursday submitted his courtesy resignation following the appeal for top officers to do so as part of an internal cleansing campaign.
In a media briefing, Azurin said he and members of his command group have already heeded the call of Interior Secretary Benhur Abalos, who earlier cited cases of police officials supposedly involved in the illegal drug trade.
“Actually, lahat kami rito, ‘yung command group ko, we have already submitted. Nauna pa ‘yung command group ko na nag-submit sa akin,” Azurin told reporters.
[Translation: Actually, all of us here, my command group, we have already submitted. My command group even submitted before me.]
