Gamboa also designated Lt. Gen. Guillermo Eleazar as PNP deputy chief for operations, which is third in command in the nation’s police force.

Banac said Eleazar will also function as officer-in-charge of chief of the PNP Directorial Staff.

Brig. Gen. Rex Dela Rosa, former  Deputy Regional Director for Administration (DRDA) of Police Regional Office 12, was appointed as Central Luzon police chief.

Gamboa also assigned these police officers:

Col. Nickson Muksan designated as Deputy Director of PNP Training Service

Gamboa’s latest reshuffle of PNP posts was part of “reformation of the organization based on the evaluation of their efficiency of performance,” Banac said.
