Vice Presidential Security and Protection Group (VPSPG) chief Col. Raymund Dante Lach ica confirmed yesterday that 75 PNP personnel of the Police Security and Protection Group (PSPG) assigned to the VPSPG were relieved of duty without prior notice.

Duterte said PNP chief Gen. Rommel Francisco Marbil issued an order on Monday relieving all 75 PSPG personnel previously assigned for her protection.

“I confirm that on July 22, 2024, an Order was issued by the Chief of the Philippine National Police relieving all of the 75 PNP Police and Security Group personnel that were previously assigned for my protection,” she said in a statement.

Duterte appeared to have taken a swipe at Marbil, who also recently ordered a series of reassignments in the Davao City Police Office, angering the Vice President’s brother, Davao Mayor Sebastian Duterte.
