President Rodrigo Duterte has chosen Police Lieutenant General Camilo Pancratius Cascolan as the next head of the Philippine National Police (PNP), Interior Secretary Eduardo Año said Tuesday.
“He [Cascolan] is the new chief PNP. PRRD [Duterte’s initials] has just signed his appointment paper,” Año said.
Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea also confirmed the appointment.
Cascolan would take over the leadership of the 209,000-strong police organization from retiring PNP chief Police General Archie Francisco Gamboa on Wednesday.
Cascolan had been the second-in-command as the deputy chief for administration prior to his appointment to the PNP’s top post. (GMA News)
