PNP Chief Torre no longer open for another match with Baste Duterte
Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief Gen. Nicolas Torre III has ruled out another boxing match with acting Davao City Mayor Baste Duterte, stating Duterte's recent statements lack logic.
Torre was declared the winner by default after Duterte failed to appear for their scheduled charity boxing match on Sunday at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum in Manila.
Despite Duterte's prior announcement of his absence, the PNP proceeded with the match to ensure aid for southwest monsoon and cyclone victims would not be delayed.
The PNP raised over P300,000 from entrance fees, with additional corporate donations exceeding P16 million for flood victims, to be turned over to the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).
Torre expressed disappointment, stating Duterte's credibility is in doubt for not standing by his word and that the PNP would not align with those he deceives.
