CAGAYAN DE ORO (MindaNews / 06 September) — The Philippine National Police relieved 12 station commanders across Northern Mindanao effective September 5 due to poor performance in the war on drugs.
PNP Region 10 Chief Superintendent Noel Constantino relieved the police chiefs of the towns in Cabanglasan and Kalilangan in Bukidnon; Villanueva, Magsaysay, Villanueva and Lagonglong towns in Misamis Oriental; Don Victoriano Chiongbian, Jimenez and Concepcion towns in Misamis Occidental; Pantar and Tangcal towns in Lanao del Norte; and Police Station 3 in Iligan city.
