01:55Earlier today, Interior and Local Government Secretary John Vic Remulia personally presented the suspect to the public, declaring the case as solved.
02:05He said the cooperation of barangay officials and the LGU of Imos, Cavite, where the suspect lived, was instrumental in the arrest.
02:15It was even the barangay captain who coordinated with the police and pointed out the suspect's location.
02:21Yes, if the local government and the PNP work together, marami tayong malulutas na problema.
02:29Sa panahon nito, nakita mong mayor at ang governor at barangay captain, yung tatlong sangay ng local government nagtulungan para makuha ng suspect kagad.
02:38Meanwhile, Remulia denied claims of circulating on social media that the removal of former PNP Chief General Nicolás Torre III was due to his refusal to sign an alleged budget insertion worth 8 billion pesos to purchase 80,000 firearms.
02:55The secretary clarified that he himself advised General Torre to carefully study the request since it was a congressional insertion.
03:05As I told you, we had a great relationship.
03:09Ngayon, pinag-aaway kami ang tinin ko.
03:12And I still maintain and I still, and I would like to give him credit na tinanggihan niya talaga as I recommended.
03:23So yung pinakitang hindi siya nakapirma.
03:25Dato si Napolcom resolution, entirely different from the purchase, wala talaga.
03:30So General Torre did not do anything wrong.
03:33Nag-cooperate siya sa akin, nag-confirm siya, okay kami lang sa issue niya.
