Napolcom gives Palace shortlist for next PNP chief as General Azurin retires today READ MORE:
Azurin, who is set to retire on Monday, said he was not aware who his possible successors were, adding he was only seeing some names from news reports.
He attributed the PNP’s milestone achievements, particularly in thecontinuing battle against illegal drugs, to the combined efforts of the police force. The ceremony will conclude Azurin’s nine-month stint as chief of the country’s 220,000-strong police force, which had been marred by controversies including an alleged cover-up of a P6.7-billion drug bust in Manila last October.
“Unfortunately, some of his personnel thought that it’s still businessas usual. That’s why he requested for that investigation so that he will not be suspected of covering up for his ,” Azurin said. “It will all depend our President. Definitely, if our servicesare being called by no less than our President then we have to acceptthe challenge. We are here to help him in any way we can because, personally, I believe in his leadership,” he said.
“So, all I wish now for the PNP is to decide if it wants to continue our fight against illegal drugs,” he said.
