MANILA, Philippines — National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) acting chief Debold Sinas and Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) Director Joel Coronel have been promoted to the rank of major general. In the donning of rank ceremonies in Camp Crame on Tuesday, both Sinas and Coronel got their second star. The event was presided by PNP chief Gen. Archie Gamboa. Gamboa said the promotion was prompted by the retirement of some police generals with key positions in national and regional units this year.

He added that the “one-strike” policy would strictly apply to unit commanders who will fail to curb illegal activities involving police personnel in their areas of responsibility. (Photo from PNP)
