Philippine National Police (PNP) Director General Alan
Purisima showed photos of his home in San Leonardo, Nueva Ecija, which he said
contradicts reports it is grandiose.
"Hindi po siya mansion. Ordinaryong bahay lang po
siya na pina-improve lang namin ng paunti unti over the years," he said in
a press conference on Thursday.
Purisima said the descriptions made in several news
reports, which used aerial shots, deceived the public of the real physical
status of his home.
“The aerial shot they took does not show what is on the
ground. The gazebo they mentioned is a simple nipa hut worth P17,890. The
garage is worth P52,630. The guard house and guest house is worth P510,420,” he
said.
He added the swimming pool, which was described as
Olympic-sized, is only 7.5 meters by 15 meters.
“I’m inviting [the members of the media] to come. Let’s
have a picnic by the swimming pool. There is an Arowana [fish] there,” Purisima
said.
He said the entire property has a market value between
P2.337 million and P4 million, a far-cry from reports that estimated it as high
as P50 million.
