13 Ecija chiefs of police reshuffled
CABANATUAN CITY — At least 13 chiefs of police in Nueva Ecija were given new assignments in a major reshuffle implemented following the takeover of newly-elected city and municipal officials on June 30.
Acting provincial police chief Col. Jess B. Mendez said the reshuffle was a routinary procedure to give other police officers an opportunity to shine and show their worth.
“The only permanent in this world is change, hindi natin nabili ang ating mga posisyon. Dapat open kayo sa change. Ang pagbabago na ito ay hindi na bago; dapat maging well-versed tayo sa lahat ng bagay.
