Baste’s tirades vs Torre anger PNPA alumni
By J.Lo

“Together, we condemn all forms of bullying, harassment and abuse, and we are committed to creating safe and inclusive environment where everyone can feel respected and supported,” Philippine National Police Academy (PNPA)graduates said Davao City Mayor Sebastian Duterte’s threat to slap Police Regional Office 11 director Brig. Gen. Nicolas Torre III has angered graduates of PNPA.
Graduates , collectively called Lakan Community, are rallying behind Torre, member of PNPA Tagapaglunsad Class of 1993, against Duterte’s tirades.
In statement, Lakan Community lambasted “powerful politician” in Davao City for his verbal attacks against Torre.
While they did not identify politician, Duterte earlier threatened to slap Torre, whom he also called professional liar after police general reshuffled PNP personnel in Davao City allegedly without mayor’s knowledge.
Mimicking his father, former president Rodrigo Duterte, known for tirades against his opponents, the mayor denied Torre’s statement that crime statistics of Davao police on their blotters had been manipulated to show that crime rate in the city is low.
In response, Torre ordered administrative relief of 100 police officers assigned in Davao City.
He is also leading manhunt against Kingdom of Jesus Christ leader Apollo Quiboloy, ally of Duterte family, wanted for child abuse and qualified human trafficking cases.
For Lakan Community, Duterte’s mistreatment of ranking police official, who is just doing his job to reform police force in Davao City, is troubling.
PNPA graduates vowed that they are solidly behind Torre, whom they said is valued member of their community.
