MANILA, Philippines — Social media posts which implied that the police Directorate for Operations chief Maj. Gen. Rhodel Sermonia will be the next Philippine National Police (PNP) chief are ‘fake news’, the organization’s Public Information Office (PIO) said on Friday. We believe this is a work of saboteurs who wish to put malice on the President’s upcoming appointment of the new Chief PNP,” Sermonia said on his Facebook page. Already, I have asked the PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group to investigate the source of this malicious posting in social media,” he added. Eleazar was appointed by Duterte last May after his predecessor, former PNP chief Gen. Debold Sinas, also retired.
