Oscar ALbayalde as incoming CPNP, as announced by the President in his speech during the awarding of Gawad Saka 2017.The 190,0000 strong PNP uniformed and non uniformed personnel will give its full support to his leadership. His proven track record of service assures that the policies of the government relative to public order and safety will be sustained,” Bulalacao said in a statement.
