MANILA, Philippines — Interior Secretary Eduardo Año has submitted to President Rodrigo Duterte his recommendation to be the next chief of the Philippine National Police.
“The recommendation has only one name. But the President has the prerogative to choose anyone with a rank of at least police brigadier general in the PNP organization,” Jonathan Malaya, spokesperson for the Department of the Interior and Local Government, said on Saturday.
Año, chair of the National Police Commission, did not identify the police general whom he recommended. He will replace Police Gen. Debold Sinas who will retire on May 8.
