PNP removes all 75 cops from Sara security detail

MANILA, Philippines — The chief of the Philippine National Police on Tuesday confirmed the removal of police officers from the security detail of Vice President Sara Duterte, saying they were transferred to beef up street patrols, especially in Metro Manila.

Earlier in the day, Duterte released a statement saying the PNP had issued a “Notice of Relief” to 75 personnel posted under the Office of the Vice President (OVP).

“I want to assure the public that [the PNP] order will not affect my work in the Office of the Vice President,” Duterte said. “Our work will continue in delivering the services to our fellow Filipinos—especially in the rural and underserved communities in the country.”
