“If they are truly involved they have to face the consequences
of their actions, they have to be braved enough to involve themselves on the
illegal activity they should be braved enough to face the consequences of their
actions. But if they are not involved they have to defend themselves even in
Plaza Miranda,” the solon stressed.
Bataoil, a former two-star police general, said since the
president has implicated the alleged involvement of former Region 6 Director
Bernardo Diaz, former National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) Director
Joel Pagdilao and former Quezon City’s Police Office’s Director Edgardo Tinio
and retired generals Vicente Loot, who is now mayor of Daan Bantayan, and
Marcelo Garbo.
In his speech during the 69th anniversary of the
Philippine Air Force, the President jolted the nation through television
when he announced the names of these generals and their involvement in
dangerous drugs.
