“I am more concerned after I learned that Aquino has been stripped of his security escorts [by the PNP]. They were recalled allegedly because they were ordered to report [to their units],” Gordon said in a radio interview. In a brief message to the Inquirer, Albayalde denied that he ordered the recall of Aquino’s security. Gen. Bernard Banac, the PNP spokesperson, confirmed that there was a security recall, but said it covered not only Aquino but all government officials in Central Luzon with security escorts. But Aquino, in a text message to the Inquirer, said his security detail appeared to have been singled out.
