SUPORTADO ni Dr. Jose Antonio Goitia, chair emeritus ng organisasyon ng mga civic groups, ang Philippine National Police sa ilalim ng pamumuno ni acting chief PNP Lt. Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr., sa gitna ng tangkang maghasik ng dibisyon sa hanay ng kapulisan.
Pinuri rin ni Goitia ang pagiging tapat sa bansa at sa mamamayan ng PNP at maging ang pagiging propesyunalismo ng mga miyembro nito.
Anya, ang pagtutol ni Nartatez sa pagsasagawa ng “loyalty check” sa kanilang hanay ay isang katunayan lamang ng pagkakaisa, pagiging disiplinado, at katapatan ng pambasang pulisya sa bansa.
“True loyalty is not declared in words but shown through actions,” ani Goitia.
“General Nartatez and the PNP have demonstrated that their service is not for politics or personalities, but for the Filipino people and the Constitution.”
Kapuri-puri rin anya ang patuloy na serbisyong inihahatid ng PNP sa gitna ng mga kontrobersya dala ng politika.
“While others spread intrigue, our police quietly serve. That is true professionalism,” dagdag pa nito.
Dahil sa kalmado at matibay na lideratong ipinamamalas ni Nartatez, sinabi ni Goitia na mataas ang morale ng kapulisan ngayon.
“General Nartatez has not wasted time on baseless issues. Instead, he reinforced discipline and reminded everyone that the duty of a police officer is to protect, not to play politics.”
Hindi rin anya nagkamali si Pangulong Bongbong Marcos sa paghirang kay Nartatez kahit acting chief lamang ng PNP.
“The President knows he can rely on the PNP to uphold order and integrity. That trust between the Commander-in-Chief and the police is essential in maintaining peace and advancing reforms,” ani Goitia.
Nanawagan di si Goitia sa publiko na manatiling solid at nagkakaisa.
“This is not the time for suspicion but for unity. The PNP, the Armed Forces, and the Filipino people must work together behind President Marcos. Loyalty to the Republic means loyalty to peace, justice, and good governance. The PNP has shown where it stands — with the President, with the people, and with the nation,” ayon pa kay Goitia na chair emeritus ng apat na civic at patriotic organizations na Alyansa ng Bantay sa Kapayapaan at Demokrasya (ABKD), People’s Alliance for Democracy and Reforms (PADER), Liga Independencia Pilipinas (LIPI), at Filipinos Do Not Yield (FDNY) Movement.
