Purisima tags critics as 'tenacious, rabid'

MANILA, Philippines - Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Director General Alan Purisima on Thursday described  as "tenacious" and "rabid" his critics from some media personalities and certain groups.
 
"These are just a couple of words to describe the attacks certain quarters have launched against me. As I told the Senate, marami na ho tayong nakasuhang mga kriminal, at pati na mga matataas na tao, at pati mga dating opisyal mismo ng PNP, kung kaya’t marami ang nagagalit sa atin at gustong gumanti sa pamamagitan ng paninira sa atin," Purisima said in his opening statement during a press conference.
 
He said the attacks and smear campaign against him started after news TV program showing aerial footage of his property in San Leonardo, Nueva Ecija.
 
"Then, may mga lumabas din na sabi pa daw na may Olympic size swimming pool daw ang property. Mas mataas din daw sa tao ang mga bakod nito, kung kaya’t hindi raw makaikita ang mansion sa loob ng bakuran," Purisima said.
 
At the same press briefing, Purisima thanked President Benigno Aquino III for his continuing trust and confidence in him amid the controversies.
 
"Ako'y nagpapasalamat sa tiwala at suporta ng ating mahal na Pangulo, President Benigno Simeon Aquino III. Salamat din sa pagtitiwala po ninyo sa buong Philippine National Police. Sa ngalan din ng mga opisyal at kawani ng PNP, salamat po sa inyong suporta. His Excellency, kahit kalian po hindi ko sinira ang tiwala niyo sa akin. 
 
"Asahan niyong sa mga panahong darating, lalo pa naming paiigtingin ang tiwala niyo at ng buong sambayanan sa inyong lingkod at sa buong Philippine National Police," Purisima added.
 
Purisima is now facing plunder and graft charges for his alleged unexplained gotten wealth and the construction of the so-called PNP White House inside Camp Crame.
