MANILA, Philippines – Senator Grace Poe said the testimony of resigned Philippine National Police Chief Director Alan Purisima in a closed-door meeting Tuesday may be disclosed to the public and may even do good for the President.
“Napakagkasunduan namin na kailangang suriin munang mabuti pero doon sa nakikita kong naging testimonya nya (Purisima), pwede talagang ilabas para sa akin,” Poe told reporters in an interview on Wednesday.
“Sa ngayon sa naalala ko wala namang masama na hindi dapat ilabas. Kung saka-sakali nga sa tingin ko, mas makakabuti pa kay Presidente,” she said but refused to give further details.
A closed-door meeting was conducted for the resigned Police chief after he refused to say during last week’s hearing who among them had informed President Benigno Aquino III about the Mamasapano encounter last January 25 that left 44 elite policemen dead.
Instead, Purisima said he had to get the President’s clearance first before answering their question
The Senate will resume on Monday its public hearing on the incident.
