P/Maj. Gen. Nicolas Torre III deserves to be appointed as the new chief of the Philippine National Police (PNP) due to his being decisive and mission-oriented, Senator-elect and former PNP Chief Ping Lacson said.
Lacson, who restored the PNP’s glory days when he headed it from 1999 to 2001, said the information he has received about Torre indicates he is a “decisive, firm and mission-oriented” official.
“From what I have heard and observed about him, he’s a decisive, firm and mission-oriented official, so he deserves to be appointed as chief of the PNP,” he said in Filipino in an interview on Bilyonaryo News Channel.
Torre assumed his post during a turnover of command June 2.
“Everybody should be on their toes because the standards will always be set by the chief PNP and I want them to be better than me.”
