PNP chief Marbil's term extended until June
Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla indicated that Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief Gen. Rommel Marbil may remain in his post until June 2025.
Remulla suggested this extension during a media briefing, citing the upcoming midterm elections as a key factor to avoid disrupting ongoing preparations and campaigns.
Marbil was appointed as top cop in April 2024 and is set to retire in February amid the official election period for the 2025 midterm polls.
The latest reshuffle involved new police chiefs being assigned to regional offices in Central Luzon, Central Visayas, and Zamboanga Peninsula effective last Friday.
Ahead of the May 2025 elections, Marbil ordered intensified efforts against private armed groups and loose firearms.
Remulla emphasized that President Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr. will make the final decision regarding Marbil's extension.
