Quezon City Police District chief Police Brigadier General Nicolas Torre III said that he already submitted his resignation in order to give way to the investigation following the viral road rage video.
Torre said that he wants to show that he is not covering up for anyone and he is also willing to help in uncovering the truth.
The resignation will be effective on Thursday.
Torre also expressed regret that he held a press conference with the former police officer Wilfredo Gonzales who pointed a gun to an unarmed cyclist.
“I really regret that press conference. I really regret that deeply. I apologize to the Filipino people for those actions because those are decisions made in a very short span of time. In hindsight, we have 20/20 vision. I could have done it better with the same result pero nangyari na,” Torre said in a TeleRadyo Serbisyo interview.
“I am discussing with my superiors my future involvement in this case. Maraming options. I may resign as district director…I am seriously considering getting out of Quezon City muna to give way to an impartial investigation,” he earlier said.
