Malacañang awaits Gen. Torre's response to Marcos' job offer

Malacañang is waiting for a positive response from former Philippine National Police chief Gen. Nicolas Torre III regarding President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s offer of a new government position.

Palace Press Officer Claire Castro stated that the Palace has yet to receive any word from Torre and is awaiting his reaction.

Marcos relieved Torre from his post due to irreconcilable issues with the National Police Commission in June.

During his tenure, Torre oversaw high-profile operations such as the arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte and Kingdom of Jesus Christ leader Apollo Quiboloy.

Torre also implemented the five-minute response policy, which required police officers to respond to emergencies within five minutes.
