MANILA, Philippines 鈥� Philippine National Police (PNP) chief, Gen. Nicolas Torre III said the Duterte family is not his 鈥減ersonal enemies,鈥� stressing that they had 鈥渞oles to play.鈥�

Torre said this in a radio interview over dzMM on Wednesday night, when he was asked if he was open to reconciling with the Dutertes. Patriarch and former president Rodrigo Duterte was arrested and turned over to the International Criminal Court (ICC) by a team led by the now-PNP chief.

鈥淭hey鈥檙e not my personal enemies. We don鈥檛 take things personal here. All the rest, everything is just part of doing our job. We have our roles to play. And we are just playing it in accordance with the script that was given to us by life,鈥� Torre said in mixed Filipino and English.

鈥淲e are law enforcers, so we just have to enforce the law. They, on the other hand, have their own roles to fulfill. Now, if they choose to play it so that they criticize us, there鈥檚 no problem with that. There鈥檚 nothing personal about it,鈥� the PNP chief added.

Torre, then a major general and Criminal Investigation and Detection Group director, led the enforcement of the ICC arrest warrant against former President Rodrigo Duterte last March.

The Duterte patriarch is accused of crimes against humanity allegedly committed during his administration鈥檚 war on drugs, which killed an estimated 12,000 to 30,000 people.

Torre was announced the next PNP chief in a Palace briefing last May 29 by Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin, stressing that the selection was 鈥渂ased on merit.鈥�

Last Saturday, speaking to supporters on a trip to visit his father in the Hague, Davao City Mayor Sebastian 鈥淏aste鈥� Duterte said Torre鈥檚 appointment was 鈥渂ased on favors.鈥�

Torre hit back in a Palace briefing earlier on Wednesday, pointing out that then-President Duterte appointed then-one-star general Ronald 鈥淏ato鈥� Dela Rosa to be his first PNP chief./mr
