Rodrigo Roa Duterte approved on March 24, 2021 the appointment to Director III and Director II of eight key officials of the National Police Commission (Napolcom).

In a virtual oath taking ceremony on April 13, Napolcom Vice Chairman and Executive Officer Vitaliano Aguirre II administered the oath of office to acknowledge and congratulate the six newly promoted Directors III and two Directors II.

Promoted to Director III are Dir. Donna Lynn Caparas, staff service chief of the Crime Prevention and Coordination Service (CPCS) in the Central Office; Dir. Monday Samson, regional director of Napolcom Region 1; Dir. Julieta Rañeses, regional director of Napolcom Region 3; Dir. Jose Concepcion Jr., regional director of Napolcom Region 7; Dir. Johnson Reyes, regional director of Napolcom Region 8; and Dir. Jerome Asuga, regional director of Napolcom Region 10.

Also promoted to Director II are Dir. Leonora Bartolome, assistant regional director of Napolcom Region 2 and Dir. Edman Pares, assistant regional director of Napolcom Region 5.

Vice Chairman Aguirre said that the President’s approval of their promotion would definitely improve the Napolcom’s overall organizational effectiveness and service efficiency. It will also intensify the commission’s competency in paving the way towards the accomplishment of its mandated functions.

“The appointment of our newly promoted Napolcom directors will hopefully make an impact in the commission’s continuing commitment to lead, improve and support the welfare and professionalization of the Philippine National Police (PNP); strengthen police discipline and integrity; improve citizenry’s sense of security; and enhance public service delivery particularly in these trying times,” Aguirre said.
