Aklan PPO welcomes new chief, no reassignment for DuranaBY BOY RYAN B. ZABAL
KALIBO, Aklan - Aklan Police Provincial Office (APPO) Senior Supt. Benigno Durana Jr., welcomed the appointment of General Avelino Razon Jr. as the new chief of the Philippine National Police (PNP).
Durana said the official turn over of command by current Director General Oscar Calderon on October 1 will ensure the continuous implementation of the 10-year PNP Integrated Transformation Program.
Razon, a member of Philippine Military Academy (PMA) Class "Marangal" 1974, served as head of Task Force Usig and the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO).
"This is a welcome development for the Aklan Police Provincial Office, which was chosen as Model Police Station (MPS) site. The launching of MPS by Deputy Director General Jesus Versoza last week will showcase the APPO's efficiency in serving the community," Durana said.
APPO was selected as MPS site by the PNP as its blueprint in the reform initiatives of the police to enhance the capability in dealing with crimes and improve the communications, equipments and firearms.
The provincial director also debunked reports he will be reassigned in PNP National Headquarters in Camp Crame when Razon succeeds outgoing chief Calderon.
"His (Razon) latest instruction for me to stay in APPO for at least one year to initiate the reform initiatives in Aklan. I'm giving myself the best shot. I'm here in Aklan to serve the people," Durana stressed.
Durana assumed his post on January 13, 2007 from Senior Supt. William Macavinta, who was reassigned in Manila.
