PNP Chief Purisima must go

PRESIDENT Aquino is shielding the Philippine National Police Chief Alan La Madrid Purisima, who has proved to be incompetent and incapable of carrying out the tasks he must do by law and who has been seen to have violated the elementary rules of ethics.

This is just one of many proofs that—contrary to his claims of having launched a campaign of transparency and righteousness in government—President Aquino is in fact a corrupt president. Here in the Purisima case, he clearly puts personal considerations and family connections above the principles of good governance and the morale of the entire PNP rank and file.
