Philippine Director General Ronald \u201cBato\u201d Dela Rosa confirmed in a press briefing on Monday that the transfer of Chief Inspector Jovie Espenido to Iloilo will not push through.<\/p>\n

“Si presidente mismo ang nagbigay ng <\/em>instruction na huwag nang ituloy dahil nga baka ma<\/em>-demoralize mga tao sa <\/em>Ozamis kung tanggalin natin si <\/em>Espenido doon<\/em> [It was President Rodrigo Duterte who gave the instruction to not continue his (Espenido) transfer because it might demoralize the people of Ozamis, if we will remove Espenido there],” the director general said.<\/p>\n

“May balita nga na baka mag<\/em>\u00a0people power\u00a0pag tinanggal doon si <\/em>Espenido.<\/em>\u00a0Kaya nagbago isip ni presidente sabi niya pag bigyan muna natin ang nga taga\u00a0<\/em>Ozamis, wag muna natin alisin si <\/em>Espenido doon<\/em>\u00a0[There’s news that there might\u00a0be a people power if Espenido will be transferred. That’s why the president have changed his mind, he said let\u2019s give what the people want, let\u2019s not remove Espenido there],\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Espenido himself said that he had to delay his transfer because of his unfinished business in the Western Visayas, he also said that he wants to finish what he started.<\/p>\n

Espenido added that he is still searching for the alleged leader of the \u2018Martilyo Gang\u2019 in Osamiz, Ricardo \u201cArdot” Parojinog, the brother of the slain Ozamis Mayor Reynaldo “Ardong” Parojinog.<\/p>\n

\u201cPublic knowledge na siya ang pinakamatindi sa mga<\/em> Parojinog [It is a public knowledge that he is the most notorious Parojinog],\u201d Espenido said.<\/p>\n

President Duterte on August 28 appointed Espenido as officer-in-charge of the Iloilo City Police Office (ICPO) before\u00a0he was awarded the Order of Lapu-Lapu for his contribution on the administration’s fight against illegal drugs.<\/p>\n

Duterte\u00a0made the announcement during his speech in the celebration of National Heroes Day at Libingan ng mga Bayani in Taguig City.<\/p>\n

Duterte earlier described the province of Iloilo as the \u201cmost shabulized<\/em>\u201d city in the Philippines.<\/p>\n

Dela Rosa also clarified that the cancellation of Espenido\u2019s transfer is not related with the chief inspector\u2019s rank; after issues came up that the chief inspector did not meet the qualifications needed to be assigned in a massive city as Iloilo.<\/p>\n
