HPG chief quits amid sex rapsBrig. Gen. Jessie Tamayao said his resignation should not be equated with admission of guilt, but a demonstration of his commitment to due process. Gen. Jessie Tamayao resigned yesterday as Highway Patrol Group (HPG) director post after a policewoman accused him of sexual harassment. According to the complainant, Tamayao threatened to reassign her to Mindanao if she refused his sexual advances. Tamayao assumed the HPG post on March 10.
