Romualdez welcomes new top cop

The House leader expressed confidence that Eleazar’s firm leadership guarantees the effective administration of justice and promote peace and order in the the country.
The Majority Leader also said he believes Eleazar will continue the high intensity in the campaign against criminality, war on drugs, terrorist, cleanse the PNP with remaining scalawags and address other concerns on law and order.
“I know that Gen. Eleazar will always continue to affirm the PNP’s motto to ‘serve and protect’ and be a good example and advocate of the rule of law,” Romualdez, president of the Lakas-Christian Muslim Democrats (CMD), stressed.
In addition, Deputy Speaker and Buhay party-list Rep. Lito Atienza said that Eleazar is the best choice to be the next PNP Chief.
“I personally welcome the appointment of Lt. Gen. Guillermo Eleazar as the new chief of the Philippine National Police. Of all the appointments of President Duterte, this is so far the best,” Atienza said.
