And this folks, is what Archbishop Oscar Cruz has to say on Sr. Supt. Alan Purisima's relief as provincial director of Pangasinan:

I happen to know Provincial Director Alan Purisima not only on a personal way but in his official competence. The truth is Pangasinan has been jueteng-free by and large and therefore I find it quite unfair that a mere presence of certain videos would mean his relief.

There have been a good number of video machines confiscated and destroyed adn the ___of the work must be going on. It is a pity that the provincial director should be relieved.

On behalf of the good people of Pangasinan, I request for the consideration of higher authorities to please reevaluate their decision to remove PD Purisima from Pangasinan.
