MANILA, Philippines?Philippine National Police Director General Jesus Verzosa is elated over the announcement of president-elect Benigno ?Noynoy? Aquino III on Wednesday that he will retain him as chief of the 130,000-strong police force.
In a text message to the Inquirer, Verzosa congratulated Aquino for having been proclaimed as the country?s 15th president even as he thanked him for ?giving his trust and confidence.?

He said the president-elect?s expression of confidence for him is an ?endorsement? of what he said was his ?transformational leadership in the police organization.?

?Rest assured that (I) will continue to pursue the transformation initiatives and reform agenda in the PNP,? said Verzosa, who was in Samar to inspect police offices in Eastern Visayas towns.
