Danao named as PNP OIC- Año
Lt. Gen. Vicente Danao Jr. has been designated as the Officer-In-Charge (OIC) of the Philippine National Police (PNP), succeeding Gen. Dionardo Carlos who retires on May 8, 2022.
The designation of an OIC is due to the constitutional restriction preventing permanent appointments in executive positions within 60 days before a presidential election.
Interior and Local Government Secretary Eduardo Año expressed confidence in Danao's capabilities, describing him as capable, hardworking, and a man of integrity who can continue ongoing reforms within the PNP.
Danao's current roles include heading the task force for the national and local elections and the PNP national task force against COVID-19, highlighting his preparedness for leadership during critical periods.
