PHILIPPINE National Police (PNP) chief Gen. Nicolas Torre III on Wednesday clapped back at Vice President Sara Duterte and Davao City Mayor Sebastian Duterte after they questioned his appointment as "sketchy."At a Palace press conference, Torre said he respected the opinion of the Duterte siblings, but he noted that Sen. Ronald Dela Rosa was also a former one-star general when their father, former president Rodrigo Duterte, appointed him as PNP chief.

THE Department of Justice (DOJ) on Friday said government prosecutors are considering requesting a hold departure order (HDO) against former presidential spokesman Harry Roque, Cassandra Li Ong and 47 others after a Tarlac court ordered their arrest in connection with a human trafficking case involving an illegal Philippine offshore gaming operator (POGO). Justice Assistant Secretary and DOJ spokesman Mico Clavano said the arrest warrants clear the way for the HDO request.
