Philippine National Police (PNP) officials received their new unit assignments in the latest reshuffle following the order of Police General Rommel Francisco Marbil.
In an order dated October 7, Marbil appointed Police Major General Leo Francisco as director of Civil Security Group (CSG), replacing Police Major General Edgar Alan Okubo, who was earlier named the PNP’s fourth top official or acting Chief of the Directorial Staff.
The CSG is the PNP’s office in charge of administrative and operational control in regulating firearms, explosives, and private security industries.
Meanwhile, Directorate for Intelligence (DI) chief Police Brigadier General Nestor Babagay Jr. was designated acting chief of Police Security and Protection Group (PSPG).
Highway Patrol Group (HPG) director Police Brigadier General Jay Cumigad will also be the acting director of the Police Regional Office (PRO) 8 (Eastern Visayas). Cumigad replaces Police Brigadier General Reynaldo Pawid, who was named the PNP Deputy Director for Operations.
Moreover, Police Brigadier General Romeo Macapaz, the former Intelligence Department chief, was named the new acting director of the PRO Bangsamoro Autonomous Region (BAR). He replaces Police Brigadier General Prexy Tanggawohn, who was placed as the acting chief of Police Command in Northern Luzon.
The revamp will take effect on Wednesday.
