Two months short of turning a year old in his former post as director of the Police Regional Office 6 (PRO 6), Chief Superintendent Jose L. Gentile has been promoted to head the Directorate of Integrated Police Operations (DIPO) in Eastern Mindanao on Monday.
He was tasked to oversee the operations of the regional police offices of Regions 10, 11 and 13.
“I will be executing all the requirements of the Chief PNP as far as the operational activities of these three regions,” he said in an interview from the sidelines of Monday's turnover of command to the incoming PRO 6 director held at the Camp Martin Delgado here.
Along with his promotion is an additional star on his shoulders, making him a two-star general. He will be based in Camp Crame but will maintain satellite offices in Butuan, Cagayan De Oro and Davao City.
His promotion was due to the retirement of the DIPO chief last Friday. Gentiles, once assigned in these three assignments during his lieutenant days, was handpicked as replacement.
Gentiles described his new assignment to be more challenging given the huge coverage when compared with Western Visayas.
He said that he has to deal with problems on insurgency as well as Muslim extremist activity, different from the issues in Western Visayas.
“I was already resigned to the thought that I will be retiring here because I have already mastered PRO 6, may comfort zone. I would like to interpret it that the CPNP would like to give me a job,” he added.
