SINAS (Juan Carlo de Vela)

CEBU CITY – Police Brig. Gen. Debold Sinas is leaving the Philippine National Police Regional Central Visayas “with mixed emotions.”

The 54-year-old Sinas is moving to the National Capital Region Police Office after serving as PRO 7 chief for one year and four months.

“I have mixed emotions. I have learned to love Cebu and Central Visayas in general. I have made a lot of friends here and established good relationship with the PRO 7 personnel. At the same time, I welcome the new challenge. Being the NCRPO chief is going to be a big challenge. For one, my deputies there are one-star generals. As regional director, my deputies are colonels only. It feels like, I am going to start from scratch,” Sinas said in a press briefing yesterday at PRO 7 headquarters here.

Effective today, Sinas is replacing his Philippine Military Academy Batch 1987 classmate Police Major Gen. Guillermo Eleazar, who is now the fourth-highest ranking officer in the PNP after he was named as Chief of Directorial Staff.

With his transfer to NCRPO, Sinas will be promoted to a two-star general. The turnover ceremony at NCRPO is tentatively scheduled on Wednesday.
