Cebu Provincial Police Office Director Eric Noble relieved 11 police officers and transferred them to other assignments yesterday morning.
They were identified as Insp. Abell Laborte, Dalaguete Police Station chief; Senior Insp. Roger Quijano, Santa Fe Police Station chief; Senior Insp. Leo Ty of the Provincial Investigation and Detective Management Branch; Chief Insp. Mikhail Mallorca of the Provincial Intelligence Branch; Insp. Stanley Canoy, Borbon Police Station chief; Supt. Marlu Corag of Provincial Public Safety Company; Chief Insp. Rolan Aliser, Tuburan Police Station chief; Senior Insp. Adrian Nalua of Naga City Police Station; Senior Insp. Verñino Noserale; Senior Insp. Diosdado Malazarte, San Fernando Police Station chief; and Senior Insp. William Homoc of the Provincial Holding and Accounting Unit.
The official challenged them to go after personalities involve in illegal drugs and other criminal activities.
Noble said the creation of the Provincial Drug Enforcement Unit forced him to transfer the officers to new units, adding that the move is normal.
Nalua replaced Malazarte as chief of San Fernando Police Station.
San Fernando is known as self-confessed drug lord Franz Sabalones's base of operations. His resort Paulo Luna and other assets were ordered freeze by the Court of Appeals-Eighth Division after the investigation showed these were acquired through his illegal drug business.
Noble challenged Nalua to check Sabalones's claim that he has stopped his illegal activities, after he surrendered to Police Director General Ronald dela Rosa last August.
