If Purisima’s got ‘delicadeza,’ he will quit PNP--lawmaker

DELICADEZA (sense of propriety) is all that stands between Philippine National Police chief Alan Purisima and his resignation as PNP head.

“A resignation will be (Purisima’s) personal decision because we have different levels of delicadeza. We cannot impose it. The appointment of the PNP chief is a prerogative of the President, as provided by law. That only means he (Purisima) has the trust and confidence of (President Benigno Aquino 3rd) ,” Rep. Romeo Acop of Antipolo City (Rizal) said in a news conference on Monday.
