PeakMetrics research summary

Based on related reporting. This does not summarize the original publisher’s reasoning.

Related reporting says Torre’s acceptance of the MMDA general manager post was considered a resignation from the police service. It also reports that, as CIDG chief, he served the arrest warrant against Rodrigo Duterte; it does not support the claim that the arrest caused his resignation. [S1][S1]
