House leaders back Marcos' extension of PNP chief's term

House leaders have backed President Marcos' decision to extend the term of Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief General Rommel Marbil by four months, until June 2025.

Officials, including Surigao del Norte 2nd District Rep. Robert Ace Barbers and Santa Rosa City Rep. Dan Fernandez, commended Marbil's less aggressive and more effective approach to law enforcement.

Barbers noted that Marbil's leadership has successfully shifted anti-drug operations towards a community-driven and intelligence-based strategy, moving away from the bloodshed of the previous administration.

The PNP under Marbil's guidance is focused on protecting lives and upholding human dignity.

Marbil's continued leadership is expected to ensure that reforms within the PNP remain on track and do not lose momentum.
