PNP says Torre 'ipso facto' resigned; retirement yet to be discussed
The Philippine National Police (PNP) has not yet discussed retirement honors for former chief Gen. Nicolas Torre III following his appointment as general manager of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA).
The PNP acknowledges that Torre's assumption of the MMDA post constitutes an "ipso facto" resignation from the police force, as per the National Police Commission (Napolcom).
PNP spokesperson Brig. Gen. Randulf Tuaño stated that retirement honor procedures will be determined in coordination with the Directorate for Personnel Records and Management (DPRM).
The PNP expressed optimism that Torre's new role will enhance coordination between the PNP and the MMDA.
General Torre served as PNP chief for a brief period from June 2 to August 26.
His relief from the PNP leadership stemmed from a disagreement with Napolcom concerning the appointment of several third-level PNP officers.
Lt. Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr. succeeded Torre as the chief of the PNP.
