President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Tuesday approved the promotion of eight Philippine National Police (PNP) officials.
PNP Chief Gen. Benjamin Acorda Jr. spearheaded the rites at the PNP headquarters in Camp Crame, Quezon City. Acorda bestowed the new ranks for Major Generals Harold Tuzon, Victor Wanchakan, and Rudolph Dimas and Brigadier Generals Lex Ephraim Gurat, Victor Arevalo, Alfredo Dangani, Roderick Mariano, and Redrico Maranan.
Maranan is currently serving as PNP chief information officer. Tuzon hails from Area Police Command in Eastern Mindanao and Western Mindanao, while Wanchakan is from Area Police Command in Western Mindanao.
Dimas is in the Special Action Force. Meanwhile, Arevalo is in charge Center for Police Strategy Management, the group that directs the PNP to good performance management down to its last units.
Gurat is the chief directional staff of National Capital Region Police Office, on the other hand, Mariano comes from the Police Regional Office CARAGA.
The approval of the promotion has been delayed due to PNP’s intensive investigation on all senior police officers and removal of ranking officials with possible drug ties.
