MANILA, Philippines — A former director of the Western Visayas police was promoted as chief of the directorial staff of the Philippine National Police. PNP chief Gen. Archie Francisco Gamboa designated Maj. Gen. Cesar Hawthorne Binag to the fourth highest position in the PNP. “He will supervise and synchronize the functions of the PNP directorial staff offices in support of the operations of police regional offices and national support units,” Gamboa told a press briefing yesterday.
