PNP Chief Takes Blame For Bus Hijack

The chief of the Philippine National Police (PNP) Jesus Verzosa took the blame for the bus hijacking rescue attempt last week that killed 8 tourists from Hong Kong in Qurino grandstand.

"As chief of the national police, I take responsibility and accountability of all Philippine National Police (PNP) units and all police personnel in everything they do or failed to do," Jesus Verzosa said in a statement on Sunday.

"It is now time to move forward and start anew. Rest assured that the national police will continue its sworn duty to serve and protect as well as render credible, effective and reliable service to the public," he said.

Last Friday, President Benigno Aquino took responsibility for the deaths of tourists.
