TACLOBAN CITY — The chief of the Eastern Visayas police on Tuesday, Jan. 10, publicly signed an affidavit attesting that he is not involved in the illegal drugs trade and other criminal activities.
Marbil said he decided to sign an affidavit witnessed by the region’s top police officers and the 400 newly-promoted police officials to attest that he is not involved in any illegal activities.“I categorically state under pain of perjury that I am not involved in any form of illegal drug activity or in any form of illegal or criminal activity,” the police regional director said in his affidavit.
“I assure the public that no police personnel from Eastern Visayas are involved in illegal drugs or other illegal activities. If there is one, I will tender my resignation. The buck stops with me,” Marbil said. Meantime, Leyte police provincial director Col. Edwin Balles admitted that he was hesitant in submitting a courtesy resignation.“Honestly, I had mixed emotions. The people are looking upon us. Whatever I have achieved in my 25 years in service is a product of sacrifice,” he said.
