Senior Supt. Glenn Dumlao, the officer who was among those charged for the killing of publicist Salvador “Bubby” Dacer and his driver, Emmanuel Corbito, in 2001, is the new head of the Philippine National Police’s anti-kidnapping arm.

Dumlao will replace Senior Supt. Manolo Ozaeta, who will be transferred to the Legal Service of the PNP.

At the time of the Dacer-Corbito killings, Dumlao was the deputy chief for operations of the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Task Force (PAOCTF)-Luzon, which was headed by then Director General Panfilo Lacson, PNP chief, who is now a senator.

In 2001, Dumlao was arrested for the murders of Dacer and Corbito in Indang, Cavite, hours after they were abducted in Makati in November 2000. Five months later, the charred remains of Dacer and Corbito were found in a creek in Cavite province.

FEATURED STORIES

Dumlao became a fugitive since 2003 until he was arrested, along with former Senior Supt. Cezar Mancao II, in the United States. They were taken back to the Philippines 2009. Dumlao turned state witness two months later and was dropped from the list of the accused.

The PNP announced the movement in the leadership after Director Benjamin Magalong, formerly the third highest ranking official in the PNP hierarchy, retired from service on Wednesday.

Replacing Magalong is Chief Supt. Ramon Apolinario, former police chief of Davao City Police Office, who was among the choices of President Rodrigo Duterte for the top PNP post. –ATM
