Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief Director General Oscar Albayalde has clarified that S/Supt. Vicente Danao Jr. was appointed to lead the Manila Police District (MPD) not only because he was the former Davao City Police Chief. ADVERTISEMENT“It’s not the factor but he is really being considered as a district director,” Albayalde said in Filipino in a press briefing on Monday. And of course, that was triggered by the retirement of General Lim on November 14.) National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) Chief Director Guillermo Eleazar, however, denied in a previous report that the shake-up has something to do with the rape incident.
