Itinalaga ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte si Police Lieutenant General Vicente Danao, Jr. bilang officer in charge ng Philippine National Police (PNP), ayon kay Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Eduardo Año ngayong Huwebes.

“Yes that’s true,” ani Año sa isang mensahe sa GMA News nang tanungin ito para kumpirmahin ang tungkol sa pagtatalaga kay Danao bilang PNP OIC.

Papalitan ni Danao si Police General Dionardo Carlos, na nakatakdang magretiro sa Mayo 8, 2022, isang araw bago ang national at local elections.

Sa ilalim ng Article 7 Section 15 ng Constitution, ang pangulo ay maaari lamang mag-atas o order ng temporary appointments sa loob ng 60 araw bago ang national elections.

Si Carlos ay na-appoint bilang PNP chief, ang ika-7 sa ilalim ng Duterte administration, noong Nobyembre 12, 2021.

Inanunsiyo ni Dept. of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Eduardo Año na si Lieutenant General Camilo Cascolan ang susunod na hepe ng Philippine National Police (PNP) kapalit ni General Archie Gamboa na magreretiro na ngayong Miyerkules.

Aniya, “He [Cascolan] is the new chief PNP. PRRD [President Rodrigo Roa Duterte] has just signed his appointment paper.”

Saad pa ni Año, “Ang pamantayan ni Pangulo, seniority. Gusto niya, inirerespeto ang seniority as long as qualified naman 'yung senior. Binibigyan ng pagkakataon.

“I want General Cascolan to lead the PNP to fight vs. Covid-19 and of course, kahit na pandemic, dapat tuloy ang laban sa crimes against drugs, terrorists. Importante riyan na even with the pandemic, the people would feel protected and secure.

“I also don't want any abuses in the PNP. Kailangang labanan pa rin ni General Cascolan ang scalawags within the organization.”

Mensahe naman ni Año kay Gamboa, “I'd like to congratulate Gen. Archie Gamboa for a very successful term as CPNP under his sterling leadership. The PNP has become a very strong pillar in the fight against the pandemic. So I salute and commend, congratulate him. I wish him the best in his next chapter.”

Si Gamboa ay nagsilbi bilang PNP OIC noong October, 2019 bilang kapalit ni Gen. Oscar Albayalde. Itinalaga siya ni P-Duterte bilang PNP chief noong January ngayong taon.
