PNP debunks resignation rumors following Duterte's arrest

The Philippine National Police (PNP) has debunked rumors of mass resignations among its personnel following the arrest of former president Rodrigo Duterte.

PNP spokesperson Police Brigadier General Jean Fajardo confirmed that no police officer has resigned since Duterte's arrest.

The PNP's Anti-Cybercrime Group is documenting social media posts that falsely claim dissension within the police force.

One widely shared fake post featured a policewoman in PSG and SWAT uniforms claiming resignation, but background checks revealed she had resigned in 2024 and moved to Australia.

Another false post showed a policeman in a PSG uniform also claiming resignation, but the PNP found he had been discharged from service for being absent without leave.

Fajardo urged the public to be cautious about believing misinformation and disinformation.

PNP chief Police General Rommel Marbil reminded PNP personnel of their commitment to the organization.
