10 POLICE OFFICIALS ASSUME NEW POSTS

Director General Oscar C Calderon today urged police officials newly-designated to key positions in different levels of command in the Philippine National Police to rally their respective units behind the PNP Integrated Transformation Program.

"This is our dream for the organization, to transform it into a capable, effective and credible police force that deserves the trust and respect of the people," Calderon said.

At the same time, Calderon challenged the newly-designated officials to equal, if not, surpass the record of accomplishments set by their predecessors, especially in the implementation of the 4-point action program on anti-criminality, anti-terrorism, anti-insurgency, and internal reform.

This was the guidance of the Chief PNP to ten senior PNP officials who have been designated to new positions in the Directorial Staff, National Support Units, and Police Regional Offices.

The latest round of reorganization was set-off by the retirement of Police Director Marcelo S Ele Jr., erstwhile Director for Investigation and Detective Management, and several other star-rank officials in the NSUs and PROs.

Designated to new positions are:

Chief Supt Edgardo Doromal , The Acting Director for Investigation and Detective Management;
Chief Supt Nicasio J Radovan Jr ., Acting Regional Director, PRO CALABARZON;
Chief Supt Leopoldo N Bataoil , Acting Regional Director, Police Regional Office 1
Chief Supt Napoleon Cachuela , Acting Regional Director, MIMAROPA, replacing Chief Supt Delfin Genio who will retire on October 28
Chief Supt Ireneo Manaois , Deputy Regional Director for Administration, Police Regional Office 5
Chief Supt Sukarno Ikbala , Deputy Regional Director for Operations, NCRPO
Senior Supt Magtanggol Gatdula , Officer-in-Charge, Quezon City Police District
Senior Supt Romeo Hilomen , Acting Director, Police Security and Protection Office
Senior Supt Rey Lañada , Executive Officer, Directorate for Logistics
Senior Supt Rufino Druja , Officer-in-Charge, Northern Police District

The newly-designated officials are expected to assume their posts within the week. A total of 26 star-rank police officers will retire this year.
