The report quoted Chief Supt. Diony Mamaril, BJMP officer-in-charge, who said that Laurio and Acevedo were fired for the lapse “by virtue of command responsibility.”
Mamaril appointed Supt. Amado Concepcion to replace Laurio. The report added that “he ordered Concepcion clean up the tank that has caused a foul smell in the jail’s surroundings.”
