Police career

[edit]

When he was serving at the Constabulary, which was part of the military, he was assigned to Presidential Security Group (PSG) that guarded then-President Corazon Aquino’s family during the military coup attempts on her administration, serving the PSG as one of its intelligence officers in 1987 and commanding its Special Reaction Unit from 1988 to 1989.[5]

He also became a police intelligence officer in Pangasinan and leader of the District Police Investigation Unit of Western Police District. In 2002, he served as the chief of Police Anti-Crime and Emergency Response (Pacer), and served as the head of the National Anti-Kidnapping Task Force (Naktaf) Strike Force/Pacer from 2003 to 2005.

Even he was suspended in 2014, according to President Benigno Aquino III's admission, he knew personally the whole operations of killing Zulkifli Abdhir aka Marwan, and both DILG Secretary Mar Roxas, and Deputy Chief Leonardo Espina were not notified of it. Before of that statement, an article published earlier by Manila Standard Today claimed that Purisima not only knew of the operation, but even took control of the operations despite being suspended from duty.[13] Also, there's a claim that the operation was a directive from the United States which "even offered a $5-million bounty for Marwan's capture"[14] with the silence of Aquino about the former's role.[15]

Corruption scandals

[edit]

He was suspended in December 4, 2014 due to a corruption scandal involving three generals and other 11 officers due to an anomalous alleged misuse of gun owners’ courier fees.[9][10] He was acquitted on charges relating to the incident by the Sandiganbayan in 2025.[16]

On June 30, 2015, he was dismissed from service by the Office of the Ombudsman over the alleged involvement in a ₱100-million anomalous deal between the Philippine National Police and WerFast Documentary Agency, Inc, a private courier company.[17]

Personal life

[edit]

Alan Purisima is married to Maria Ramona Lydia Isidoro Purisima, with whom he has four sons.[3]
