MANILA \u2013 Police Deputy Director General Leonardo Espina reportedly resigned from his post as officer-in-charge of the Philippine National Police (PNP).<\/p>\n

According to at least three unnamed but well-placed sources from the PNP, Espina had already sent his resignation letter to President Benigno Aquino III last March 2015.<\/p>\n

President Aquino, however, has yet to accept the resignation.<\/p>\n

Last December 2014, Espina became PNP\u2019s officer-in-charge, taking over the leadership\u00a0of former Chief Director Alan Purisima. Espina\u2019s resignation came four months earlier his scheduled retirement in July 2015. His resignation also came prior his promotion as the deputy chief of administration of the national police force, effective April 2015.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe just wants the President to exercise his prerogative to appoint an acting PNP chief,\u201d said a PNP high-ranking official, adding that the general wanted to give the President a free hand in choosing the permanent police force chief to replace Purisima.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a very noble act on the part of OIC Espina,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Since Espina has not yet received a word from the President as of posting, he remains as the PNP OIC.<\/p>\n

PNP spokesperson Chief Superintendent Generoso Cerbo Jr., however, said that they had no official record of Espina\u2019s resignation. He asserted that if the general really did resign, the police force should have known.<\/p>\n

\u201cNegative \u2018yan\u2026 Officially, wala pang ganyan na record sa Philippine National Police. Kami ang unang makakaalam kung may pagbabago sa PNP. Kung may changes diyan, isa ako sa unang makakaalam,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

(That\u2019s negative\u2026 Officially, the Philippine National Police has no record. We will be the first to know if there are changes in the PNP. If there are indeed changes, I will be one of the firsts to know.)<\/p>\n

\u201cNormally, kapag may resignation, it will be through channels, maraming pagdadaanan. [But] with that, si PNP OIC (Espina) lang mismo ang makakapag confirm n\u2019yan kung totoo man,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

(Normally, if there is a resignation, it will be through channels, it will undergo a lot of processes. [But] with that, only PNP OIC (Espina) can confirm it if it\u2019s true.)<\/p>\n

Espina, for his part, has not released any official statement regarding the issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
