We are not happy with what he said. Since he is under oath, you have to tell us kasi it affects the whole organization. And remember it’s not the whole organization na PNP alone. It’s peace and order apektado sa sinabi niya,” Marbil said during the Senate hearing on the PNP’s 2025 budget.  </div>He explained that they have to investigate everybody unless Villanueva names the said former official.<div>Marbil added that they have not yet received a report from Villanueva, a retired army general.  “We are making a letter addressed to General Raul Villanueva to name the names kung sino talaga. Or else you have to clarify sa Senado na wala talaga. Kasi he’s under oath, he has to tell us sino ang pangalan,” Marbil said.  Sen. Robin Padilla said it was important to clarify the matter because it affects the police.<a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/2024/9/17/bato-grills-alice-guo-after-former-chief-pnp-mentioned-at-senate-hearing-1858"></a> <a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/2024/9/17/bato-grills-alice-guo-after-former-chief-pnp-mentioned-at-senate-hearing-1858"></a> <a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/2024/9/17/bato-grills-alice-guo-after-former-chief-pnp-mentioned-at-senate-hearing-1858">&#x27;Kilala mo ba ako?&#x27; Bato grills Alice Guo after &#x27;former chief PNP&#x27; mentioned at Senate hearing</a> Meanwhile, Interior Secretary Benhur Abalos said he has not yet talked to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr about the issue. “Hindi ko alam ‘yang about the chief PNP (I don’t know about that chief PNP).
