Vice President and outgoing Education Secretary Sara Duterte plants a tree during the Department of Education Turnover Ceremony at the Bulwagan ng Karunungan, Department of Education Central Office in Pasig City on July 18, 2024. Jonathan Cellona, ABS-CBN NewsMANILA – Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla on Thursday defended the recall of 75 police personnel from the security detail of Vice President Sara Duterte.
“I don’t think it’s a bad matter to recall some of the personnel and she still has 300 bodyguards, bigger than the President’s security,” Remulla said.
The Philippine National Police said it recalled 75 of the 106 officers assigned to Duterte were recalled to address a shortage of personnel in Metro Manila.
The PNP said the move was properly coordinated.
"Again ang objective ng PNP leadership ay dagdagan yung mga pulis natin on the ground para madagdagan at ma-sustain natin yung police visibility and presence at nagamit natin itong mga pulis na ito nitong nagdaaang SONA, nitong nagdaaang bagyo," said PNP spokesperson Col. Jean Fajardo.
Duterte this week released an "open letter" to PNP chief Rommel Marbil saying the recall of the 75 police officers was part of "political harassment" against her, adding that the cops who had been transferred were PNP personnel she trusted.

She also raised concerns about her family's safety, claiming that police "cased" her house and had tried to find out where she lives.
Sen. Ronald "Bato" Dela Rosa, a former PNP chief, called on retired police and military personnel to volunteer to provide additional security to the Vice President.
