CABANATUAN CITY, Nueva Ecija, Oct. 9 (PNA) — Senior Supt. Manuel Cornel, Nueva Ecija police director, has urged his men to intensify anti-criminality operation under the agency’s Lambat Sibat platform even as chiefs of police have been revamped over poor performance, overstaying or upon request of the local chief executives.
Fifteen police officers, six of whom were police superintendents and nine station commanders, were relieved from their posts in a massive revamp in Nueva Ecija allegedly due to poor performance in the implementation of the PNP’s flagship anti-crime project “Oplan Lambat-Sibat.”
Among those relieved were effective October 5 were Supts. Marcelo Dayag, Rechie Duldulao, Felix Castro, Ponciano Zafra, Nolie Asuncion and Reynaldo dela Cruz and Senior Inspectors Lawrence Lira, Joel dela Cruz, Erwin Ferry, Joey Cabatin, Jay Cabrera, Eduardo Gaspar, Damaso Feliciano Jr. Baltazar Corpuz and Rex Perocho.
