From securing the top police post up to the few remaining days in his office, it was indeed a bumpy ride for General Rodolfo Azurin, Jr. as the chief of the Philippine National Police (PNP). | ManilaBulletin
It took more than a month since the first day of his administration last year before President Marcos picked Azurin as his first Chief PNP and just as he was supposed to be thinking of how he would spend his civilian life when he retires on Monday, April 23, the allegation of a massive cover-up on the P6.7 billion worth of shabu seized in Manila last year had popped up.
“That’s the best way to describe it. Most of the time went down, but we were able to recover,” he added. "But when we start investigating, filing cases and arresting these criminals to place them behind bars, if they still have 30 years to live in this world, then they would wake up everyday regretting the crimes they did to the people," he explained.
But Azurin insisted that there was no cover-up and that the long process of investigation was aimed at identifying with certainty those involved in the illegal drugs, a statement which was backed by former PNP general and now Baguio City Mayor Benjamin Magalong who vouched that the Chief PNP was standing on a moral ground in the fight against illegal drugs.
The same Manila operation resulted in the conduct of ‘purging’ among the senior officers of the PNP through a courtesy resignation asked by Abalos.
