New Muntinlupa top cop named

MANILA, Philippines — A former official of the Manila Police District (MPD) and Eastern Police District (EPD) has been named Muntinlupa’s police chief.

Col. Robert Domingo assumed the post during a change of command ceremony held in front of the Muntinlupa police station on Friday.

Domingo replaced Col. Angel Garcillano, who held the position for more than two years.

Before his appointment, Domingo served as the chief of the EPD’s District Investigation and Detective Management Division. He also served as the officer-in-charge of the same unit under the MPD and as an MPD station commander.

Apart from this, Domingo was also the former chief of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group-Regional Field Unit in the National Capital Region.

Muntinlupa Mayor Ruffy Biazon, who attened the ceremony, welcomed the newly installed city police chief.

He also thanked Garcillano and lauded his accomplishments during his time as the chief of police.

“Colonel Garcillano served the city and the people of Muntinlupa well with a very good track record of law enforcement and community relations,” Biazon said.

“As for Colonel Domingo, he has a pleasant disposition, but I can see his drive to show that he is not one to go soft on crime. I think he will make an effort to match, if not beat, the accomplishments of his predecessor,” he added.

Brig. Gen. Leon Victor Rosete, who recently took over as the acting director of the Southern Police District, led the turnover ceremony.
