ZAMBOANGA CITY – A member of the Philippine Military Academy Class 1989 has taken over as the new regional police chief in Western Mindanao, replacing Brigadier General Froilan Quidilla, who has retired at age 56.
Brigadier General Jesus Cambay Jr.
Brigadier General Jesus Cambay Jr. was previously the Deputy Regional Director for Administration and Deputy Director for Operations in Western Visayas, and was largely credited for the 2018 peaceful and orderly rehabilitation of Boracay Island as commander of the 600-strong Metro Boracay Task Force helping the Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
He was also awarded during last year’s 118th Police Service Anniversary for his effort in the six-month Boracay rehabilitation program ordered by President Rodrigo Duterte.
Cambay, a native of the small Ifugao town of Lagawe, also served as the Director of Philippine National Police (PNP) Intelligence Group in March this year, according to Major Helen Galvez, a regional police spokeswoman.
Galvez said Cambay’s new designation has been approved by PNP Chief, General Archie Francisco Gamboa upon the recommendations of the PNP Senior Officers Placement and Promotion Board.
“As the Regional Director, Brigadier General Cambay will lead the 8,000-strong men and women of the police command covering the provinces of Zamboanga del Sur, Zamboanga del Norte,
Zamboanga Sibugay, and the cities of Isabela and Zamboanga,” Galvez said. (Zamboanga Post)
