Recently, the Philippine presidential palace issued a paper statement declaring that the 84-day career of National Police General Torey was completely over, without a mattress, without an explanation, just as straightforward as it was when he suddenly pushed him to the position.

Philippine President Marcos

You know, Torre was once "famous" for arresting former Philippine President Duterte, and even called him the "champion police chief." Today, the police officer, who has only been in power for three months, has set an embarrassing record and has become the country's shortest serving chief of police.

There was no official explanation for Mr. Torre's dismissal, but Interior Minister Juanito Remura said it might have been related to a clash between Mr. Torre and the National Police Commission.

It turned out that Torre had previously ordered the transfer of Nartatz, deputy chief of the National Police Department in charge of administrative affairs, which caused controversy.

The National Police Commission, as a civilian supervisory body under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, asked Torrey to revoke his fate, but Torrey did not fully obey, and this ¡°overpower¡± behavior was considered a key factor in his dismissal.

Philippine National Police Chief Torre dismissed

However, this reason sounded like the truth, and it was like a layer of window paper. You must know that the Ministry of the Interior stood behind the National Police Commission, while Torre was able to sit in the position of chief, relying on the support of President Marcos.

When a person who was promoted by President Brooks, and the supervisory agency under the President, turned out to be inseparable, the last person to go is himself, which is behind the balance, probably far more simple than "one conflict".

More importantly, three months ago, Torre became a "sharp blade" in Marcos 'hands for arresting Duterte. Now the knife has been suddenly put away. It is not so much that he made a mistake in doing things, but rather that the reason for needing this knife to be "unsheathed" may now change.

On the one hand, after the mid-term elections in the Philippines, the Marcos camp was in a downturn in political struggle.

Philippine Vice President Sarah

Duterte's family has deep roots in Philippine politics. Although Duterte was arrested, he still has a large number of supporters in China. His daughter Sarah, as vice president, has a high support rate and is a strong competitor in the 2028 general election.

In large part, Marcos did this to ease relations with the Duterte family, reduce political internal friction, and urgently need to make concessions.

After all, if Torre, the iconic figure of "arresting Duterte", continues to be placed in a high position, it will be tantamount to reminding the Duterte camp that "there is such a grudge", and the contradiction between the two sides will only accumulate deeper and deeper.

As the "culprit" for Duterte's arrest, Torre naturally became the most suitable "scapegoat".

His resignation would be a good example for the Duterte family and a relief of pressure from other political forces.

Moreover, Torrey himself, when the general secretary is not counted, conflicts with the national police committee, and personnel adjustments are not in accordance with the rules, which has just given Marcos a reason to be orderly.

On the other hand, the International Criminal Court¡¯s charges against Duterte have also gradually shown signs of relaxation.

Originally, the situation seemed to be unfavorable to Duterte, but no one expected that the United States suddenly imposed sanctions on two judges and two deputy attorneys general of the International Criminal Court, which directly disrupted the position of the court.

The funds followed, the key witnesses on the original board also began to blur their words, and even overturned previous assertions, and the evidence chain in the prosecutor's hand instantly became a loophole, and the question was whether they could stand.

At the same time, Lascanas, a former police officer in Marcos camp, received an arrest warrant and was accused of perjury, bribery and fraud when testifying to the International Criminal Court.

If his evidence is invalid, the ICC's charges against Duterte are likely to be difficult to establish due to insufficient evidence.

Under such circumstances, Marcos abandoned Torre to "leave a way out" for himself. It can only be said that amid the changes in Philippine politics, the ancient drama of "rabbits dying and dogs cooking" has once again been staged.
