The Freeman
|August 28, 2025
Malacañang confirmed it is offering a new post to former Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Gen. Nicolas Torre III, who was unceremoniously relieved after only three months at the helm.
-
Palace press officer Claire Castro said details of the new post could not be disclosed, but confirmed that Torre is being offered one.
“Hindi pa po natin maisisiwalat ang detalye patungkol po dito, pero confirmed po na may inaalok po na posisyon,” she said at a press briefing on Wednesday, August 27. (We cannot disclose the details yet, but it is confirmed that a position is being offered.)
This came after Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin announced Tuesday morning that President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. had ordered Torre’s immediate relief as PNP chief, citing a letter dated August 25.
Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla also revealed at a press conference on August 26 that Torre may be assigned to another post as Marcos continues to value his experience and leadership.
