MANILA, Philippines — Former Philippine National Police chief Gen. Nicolas Torre III has effectively resigned from the PNP after he accepted the post of general manager of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), the National Police Commission (Napolcom) said yesterday. Had Torre rejected the MMDA post, he would continue to hold the four-star rank until he reaches the mandatory retirement age of 56 in March 2027. The PNP has yet to issue a statement on Torre’s oath-taking as new MMDA general manager. He was the fourth PNP chief under the Marcos administration.
