ILOILO City – A former director of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) in Region 6 has replaced Senior Superintendent Harold Tuzon as director of the Iloilo Police Provincial Office (IPPO).
Senior Superintendent Marlon Tayaba, previously assigned at the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) as Public Safety Battalion commander, reported yesterday to the Police Regional Office 6 (PRO-6) then to his new post.
Tuzon was sacked from the IPPO after New People’s Army rebels raided the police station of Maasin, Iloilo on June 18.
In a telephone interview on Tuesday, Tayaba confirmed receiving an order from the Philippine National Police headquarters to report to the PRO-6.
The order also named Tayaba’s replacement at the ARMM, Superintendent Ronaldo Fulo.
Aside from previously heading CIDG-6 based in this city, Tayaba had served the Iloilo City Police Office as chief of the Iloilo City Mobile Group.
“It’s my honor and pleasure to serve the Ilonggos once again if given the chance,” said Tayaba whose wife is an Ilongga.
Tuzon was temporarily assigned at the PRO-6.
Chief Superintendent Cesar Hawthorne Binag, Western Visayas police director, cited command responsibility for Tuzon’s relief following the Maasin police station raid.
After Tuzon’s relief on June 19, the PRO-6 deputy director for operations Senior Superintendent Christopher Tambungan temporarily took over the IPPO.
“Tuzon is a very active police director but one of his police chiefs was ineffective,” said Tambungan.
He was referring to sacked Maasin police chief, Senior Inspector Ray Cordero.
“It’s normal in our organization. We (police commanders are) held liable for whatever lapses of our men,” said Binag./PN
