Sr. Supt. Benigno Durana replaced Supt. William S. Macavinta as Aklan provincial director. According to the Philippine National Police (PNP) Director General Oscar Calderon,the relief of Macavinta is part of the massive revamp of provincial directors in 32 provinces and five cities to guarantee the impartiality in the midterm May 2007 elections.
Durana, a member of class 1988 Philippine Military Academy (PMA), is one of the Country’s Outstanding Policemen in Service (COPS). He is a former chief of Police Anti-Crime Emergency Response (PACER) in the National Capital Region (NCR). He is also the former head of the Central Police District.
The revamp was recommended by Deputy Dir. Gen. Avelino Razon Jr., and noted by National Police Director for Personnel Nicolas Pasinos. The reassignments cover those provincial directors who had stayed for more than two years in a province and who are too familiar with the chief executive in a province.
Last week, during the turn over of command in Iloilo City, Calderon said the reshuffling of police officials is normal in the organization to ensure these officials could not be used for political advantage of any candidate in the May 2007 elections.
PNP regional director Chief Supt. Wilfredo Dulay, Sr added the relief has ‘no political motives’, but a regular reshuffling of men.
The turn over of command last week at the Aklan Provincial Police Office (APPO) was witnessed by PNP Director for Logistics Jose Antonio Salvacion and Chief Supt. Geary Barias, head of Directorial for Investigation and Detection Management (DIDM) in Camp Crame. Last Friday, Senior Supt. Co Yee Co also replaced Capiz provincial director Senior Supt. Cipriano Querol, Jr.
Macavinta assumed the position as acting Aklan provincial director in January 2005.
Earlier in Iloilo City, Chief Supt. Wilfredo Dulay, newly designated police director, indicated the imminent relief of acting Aklan police director Supt. William Macavinta because his two-year of duty is already up. Dulay said, the relief order would take effect after the Kalibo Ati-Atihan festival.
"The relief is not due to any political motive. He (Macavinta) has to be relieved from his post after his two years of service. He had exceeded his allowable stay in the province," he stressed.
Macavinta is a Philippine National Police (PNP) Academy ’87 graduate. The relief is a normal PNP command reshuffling, though, Dulay believed PNP Director General Oscar Calderon decided to move Macavinta because he has been Aklan police director in an acting capacity for two years now.
"The designation of Macavinta in 2005 is only temporary, while we are awaiting the appointment of a permanent provincial director," said Dulay, adding, Macavinta had done his part to serve the people of Aklan.
Macavinta, a native of Numancia, is the third official to lead the Aklan police under the 30-month old administration of Governor Carlito Marquez.
Macavinta was formerly the chief of the Northern Metro Manila Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) prior to his assignment in Aklan. He was also a licensed criminologist and was the former chief of the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) in Metro Manila police district.
Dulay, who replaced outgoing Chief Supt. Geary Barias last Friday, vowed to deploy more policemen, to secure the Kalibo Sto. Niño Ati-Atihan festival this week.
"The additional personnel and a strong security force are necessary to help maintain peace and order during the festival," he pointed out.
As to Asean delegates expected to flock to the resort island of Boracay after the summit in Cebu City, Dulay stressed the PNP is drawing up plans to guarantee the security of foreign dignitaries, despite travel warnings issued by United States, Britain and Australia.
Last December, Task Group Boracay was created to ensure the safety of the island in a Memorandum of Agreement between the AFP, PNP, National Intelligence Coordinating Agency (NICA), PCG and the Department of Transportation and Communications (DoTC).
Outgoing regional police director Barias now heads the Directorial for Investigation and Detection Management (DIDM) post in Camp Crame. He replaced Chief Supt. Ed Doromal who now heads the PNP’s Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG).
Dulay, a native of Pangasinan, was assigned at the Police Regional Office 4. He was the former director of the Legal Service in Camp Crame and former Iloilo provincial director in 1995. /MPmailto:madyaas_pen@yahoo.com
