Week's Highlight: Pam's 3G's versus Gwen's 3P's Exchange

Police General Nicolas Torre III, the former PNP chief, was relieved of his command in May, but the reasons behind his dismissal remain unclear. The news media has questioned the reasons behind his removal, with unofficial reports suggesting that Torre acted beyond his authority in changing officers' assignments and refused to purchase 80,000 firearms proposed by DILG chief Jonvic Remulla.

Meanwhile, Governor Baricuatro is expected to take action to fix the alleged issues in the province and improve upon the work of former Governor Gwen. The public is interested in knowing if the three Gs (General Lack of Disclosure, General Corruption, and General Mismanagement) are genuine issues or part of a strategy to damage the reputation of former Governor Gwen.

Governor Baricuatro has claimed that the Cebu Province is carrying a debt of approximately P1.1 billion, primarily in infrastructure projects. The public seeks specific details about the incurrence of the debt, such as the dates and projects involved, as well as information about the age of delinquency and the current financial status of the Capitol. It is unclear if the alleged debt is the cause of any significant financial difficulties for the province, such as issues with meeting payables, cash flow problems, or bankruptcy.

The public deserves to know the actual state of the financial health of the province and whether there is a real reason for Governor Baricuatro to be concerned about its financial situation. Governor Pam, who has taken over the Provincial Government, has the right to disclose the state of the government to the public.

Torre's removal may serve as a lesson for the new PNP chief, Guv Pam, on what to avoid and where to do more and do better. Torre was recognized for the arrest of Pastor Quiboloy and the handover of ex-President Duterte to the International Criminal Court. His tenure as PNP chief was not without its controversies, and his dismissal has left many questions unanswered.

After the first 100 days in office, Governor Baricuatro is expected to stop blaming the past administration and start addressing the current issues in the province. Governor Baricuatro is expected to take action to fix the alleged issues in the province and improve upon the work of former Governor Gwen. The public eagerly awaits specific, evidence-supported information from Governor Pam about any alleged issues in the province.

In conclusion, the removal of Police General Nicolas Torre III and the alleged financial issues in Cebu Province have left many questions unanswered. The public deserves transparency and clarity on these matters, and it is hoped that the new leadership will provide the necessary information to address the concerns of the people.
