PNP overhauls its top management

The Philippine National Police (PNP) has revamped some of its top posts following Lieutenant General Fernando Mendez Jr.’s retirement from his position as deputy chief for administration, the second highest post in the PNP.

Police Lieutenant Generals Francisco Archie Gamboa and Camilo Pancratius Cascolan, and Police Major General Guillermo Eleazar were promoted to deputy chief PNP for administration, deputy chief PNP for operations, and Directorial Staff chief, respectively.

Police Brigadier General Debold Sinas, former regional director of PNP Central Visayas, was designated as the replacement of Eleazar in the National Capital Region Police Office chief position.

Sinas’ post as PNP Central Visayas regional director has yet to be filled.
