TV5 screen grab of policemen in formation
CAMP OLIVAS, Pampanga - Outgoing PNP Chief Director General Ricardo Marquez on Monday installed Chief Supt. Aaron Aquino, top choice of incoming president Rody Duterte for region 3, as the new Central Luzon police head during simple rites held in the regional police headquarters.
Aquino, who was raised in Tarlac, had been assigned mostly in southern Mindanao areas since he joined the police organization. He vowed to enhance collaboration among law enforcement agencies, including the armed forces, in the fight against all forms of criminality.
“Peace and order initiatives, other law enforcement functions and application with unique but time tested strategies, plus the PNP and AFP collaboration and interoperability would be the key in serving the people in this region,” said Aquino in his opening statement during the turn-over rites held at the Multi-Purpose Hall here.
A member of the Philippine Military Academy “Sandiwa” class of 1985, Aquino was formerly the Deputy Regional Director for Police Regional Office 11 (PRO11) before assuming the top cop post of Central Luzon.
Aquino accepted the challenge of meeting the deadline in combating crime specifically illegal drugs, though he admitted it is a gargantuan task.
“We will do our best to help our commander in chief meet his deadline and noble intentions to make this organization worthy of respect,” he said.
During the campaign, Duterte vowed to crush drug trafficking syndicates and other organized crime groups in three to six months.
Aquino replaced Chief Supt. Rudy Lacadin, who stepped down May 30 after reaching the mandatory 56-year-old retirement age.
Lacadin served more than nine months in the Central Luzon regional police headquarters, completing his 34 years in police service. His swift actions against criminals earned praises from his superiors, including Interior Secretary Mel Senen Sarmiento.
“Rudy’s action-filled nine-month stint in region 3 resulted in the deaths of hardened street criminals, illegal drugs trafficking gangs, and other lawless elements who were killed in legitimate police operations,” said Marquez.
