2 Cebu police chiefs lose posts

CEBU CITY — Two more police chiefs in the province of Cebu have been stripped of their posts.

Relieved were Chief Insp. Jaime Santillan of Barili town and Senior Insp. Andres Alpas, police chief of Alcantara.

“They were not performing well. I need station commanders who are aggressive,” said Senior Supt. Eric Noble, director of the Cebu Provincial Police Office (CPPO).

Noble appointed spouses Senior Inspectors Jose Angelo and Rosemarie Acupinpin as the new station commanders of Barili and Alcantara.

Noble said he would relieve other station commanders not performing well in their campaign against illegal drugs.

The CPPO director earlier replaced the four police chiefs on Camotes Islands for their failure to address the illegal drugs problem in their areas.

“It is better to replace police station chiefs who are not performing well otherwise I will be the one who will be relieved from my post,” Noble said. CBB/rga
