Two NBI deputies to question dismissal

AXED deputy directors Ruel Lasala and Reynaldo Esmeralda of the National Bureau of Investigation on Friday questioned the department order issued by Justice Secretary Leila de Lima designating their replacements without citing reasons of their unexpected exit.

In a hastily called press conference, the two officials said they interpreted the memorandum as dismissal since it was not clear if they would be on a floating status or are being transferred to other posts.
