00:00Vice President Sara Duterte says the Philippine National Police has removed 75 of its personnel
00:06from her security detail.
00:07Duterte says the removal of the PNP personnel will not affect her work as vice president.
00:12PNP Chief Police General Rommel Marbil says the removal was not politically motivated,
00:17saying the PNP lacks personnel to do ground duties, forcing others to do overtime work.
00:22Marbil clarifies the policemen were not removed from the PNP but were only reassigned.
00:27A 2022 Commission on Audit report showed Duterte had 433 personnel for the Vice Presidential
00:33Security and Protection Group, which was 63 percent of the OVP staff.
00:38Her predecessor Lenny Robredo only had 78 personnel assigned to her security.
00:43Duterte had said then that the additional security was needed for her role in the Marcos
00:47Cabinet.
00:48Duterte resigned from the Marcos Cabinet, effective July 19.
