Rommel Marbil, new PNP chief
By J.Lo
POLICE Major General Rommel Francisco Marbil is the new President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. appointed chief of the Philippine National Police (PNP).
Marbil is taking helm of PNP after General Benjamin Acorda retired from service. Acorda was supposed to retire in December 2023, but Marcos extended his term until March 31, 2024.
The 30th PNP chief said his leadership will focus on enhancing knowledge and professionalism of PNP personnel, expanding their ability to maintain order and fight crimes, and increasing public trust in the police force.
Prior to his appointment as country’s top cop, Marbil served as head of PNP’s Directorate for Comptrollership. He also led Eastern Visayas regional police and PNP Highway Patrol Group.
Marbil was member of Philippine Military Academy’s Class of 1991 like Acorda.
Malacañang announced Marcos had designated Police Lieutenant General Emmanuel Peralta as officer-in-charge of PNP.
Peralta’s appointment is effective only until “replacement is appointed.”
