The Philippine National Police (PNP) sees no problem with President Duterte’s decision to further defer the appointment of the country’s top cop and instead tasked retired military general Eduardo Año as the “caretaker.”
PNP spokesman Brig. Gen. Bernard Banac said that as the current secretary of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), Año is in the better position to temporarily lead the PNP while the President is still choosing the next PNP chief.
The PNP is under the supervision of the DILG and as DILG secretary, Año is also the concurrent chairman of the National Police Commission (Napolcom).
