Popular Duterte blogger and supporter Jun Abines told the public that people should blame CIDG chief Police Brigadier General Nicolas Torre III if he ever lost his life or went missing.
In his Facebook Live, Abines said Torre must be the number one suspect if anything bad happens to him, claiming that the general was using his power to silence the administration’s critics.
“‘Pag ako namatay number 1 suspek si Torre. Kasi si Torre, berdugo; Si Torre ano yan parang asong ulol ‘yan. Siya ang tumatrabaho sa kalaban ng bangag na administration,” said Abines.
“‘Pag ako namatay, pag ako naging missing, si Torre ang primary suspek. He is using the whole PNP organization to protect the bangag administration and to protect his own interest,” he added.
Abines also said that Torre was destroying the image of the whole PNP.
“General Torre, duwag ka. Mukha kang pera, General Torre. Pwede mo akong mapatay, pero hindi mo ako mapapatahimik. Demonyo ka, General Torre. Mukha kang pera. Binaboy mo ang PNP,” said Abines.
In an interview, Torre confirmed that he was the one who ordered the search warrant against Abines, which happened on February 22.
“Nag-apply ako ng search warrant para makuha ang mga phone at computer na ginamit mo sa katarantaduhang ginawa mo sa akin,” Torre said.
It can be recalled that Abines posted an AI-generated image of Torre, claiming that the general was hospitalized.
