00:00Coming from the Council of Chiefs, which I am a member, Madam Chair, if I may, if I may

00:06read this statement.

00:49the intelligence community, a former PNP chief helped in the escape of former Bamban

00:55Mayor Alice Gu, and is also in the pugo monthly payroll.

01:01This is a sweeping accusation which maligns and brings dishonor to all of us, former chiefs

01:08who have dedicated the best years of our lives in the service of the Filipino nation.

01:16Although we are now retired, we continuously uphold our integrity to the highest standards

01:24and our solemn pledge to serve and protect our country and people.

01:29As a retired Brigadier General himself, schooled in the Philippine Military Academy's tradition

01:35of producing an officer and a gentleman, it is incumbent upon himself, in the interest

01:43of transparency, fairness, and justice, to identify this rogue former PNP chief to clear

01:52the names of those not involved.

01:55However, if the information turns out false, after validating the report, we hereby demand

02:03a public apology, no less, from the same officer.

02:08And General Renato S. De Villa, Chairman, Council of Chiefs.
