Probe on Sinas to push through

Malacañang clarified the investigation on NCRPO Chief Debold Sinas regarding the celebration of his birthday will push through even if President Duterte has decided to retain him.

Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said the Chief Executive is aware of the proper process for the incident despite his statement.

“Sa tingin ko po malinaw ang sabi ng ating Presidente. Mananatili po siya sa puwesto sa ngayon. At dahil dati namang piskal din ang ating Presidente, alam po ng ating Presidente na kinakailangan umusad iyong proseso ng kasong criminal (I think what the President said is clear. He will remain in his post. And because the President is a former fiscal, he knows it is important for a criminal case to go through due process),” Roque said.

“Pagdating naman po doon sa mga administrative cases, well uusad din po iyan (When it comes to administrative cases, well, they will also push through),” Roque added.
