Newly appointed Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Gen. Benjamin Acorda Jr. has ordered a revamp in the police hierarchy whereby five top-ranked officials were given new assignments.
The reshuffle which took effect Tuesday, covered PNP director for comptrollership Brig. Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr. who was appointed as the new intelligence chief. The post was vacated by Acorda’s designation as PNP chief.
Brig. Gen. Rommel Francisco Marbil replaced Nartatez as chief comptroller.
Brig. Gen. Vincent Calanoga was named acting Region 8 (Eastern Visayas) director vice Marbil, while Brig. Gen. Roger Laroza Quesada was reassigned as acting deputy Region 5 director for the administration.
Brig. Gen. Limuel Esto Obon was designated as the director of the Human Rights Affairs Office.
“I am confident that these new Officers-in-Charge and Acting Directors will bring their expertise and experience to their respective positions and lead their units with utmost professionalism, integrity, and dedication to service,” Acorda said in a statement.
He said the reshuffle reflected the PNP’s commitment to ensure effective leadership and management across various units and offices.
