“Gen. Soria’s dismissal from his post as regional director of the Eastern Visayas Police Department is a wrongful termination,” the Change.org petition said.
 
A police statement Friday confirmed that Soria has been relieved of his position days after he told media that Yolanda could have killed more than 10,000.
 
The statement claimed the police official was replaced over “acute stress reaction,” which may require him to undergo stress debriefing. Soria was in Tacloban when Yolanda hit.

“Do we continue to bicker whether there are 2,000 or 10,000 dead? This quarrel over numbers is futile and counter-productive,” the petition said further.
 
It even dubbed Soria “a hero,” not only for being among the first responders on the scene but also for highlighting the “extent of misery,” thereby prodding global action.
 
“There is no denying that Gen. Elmer Soria was instrumental in galvanizing international support for the subsequent relief and rescue operation,” the petition said.
 
It also urged Aquino not to put more lives in jeopardy and to fast-track relief and rehabilitation operations in affected areas instead of “squabbling over minor details.”
