PNP Chief Marbil may get term extension: Remulla
Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla indicated that Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief General Rommel Marbil might have his term extended until June.
Remulla explained that replacing Marbil would be ineffective due to recent reshuffles within the PNP, particularly with the official election period having begun.
General Marbil, who was appointed PNP chief in April 2024, is initially set to retire this February.
The election period for the 2025 midterm polls commenced on January 12 and will conclude on June 11, 2025.
Marbil has instructed the national police force to heighten its campaign against private armed groups and unlicensed firearms in anticipation of the May 2025 elections.
