The
governors have expressed their concern over the relief of
Montenegro and the appointment of Sr. Supt. Edmund S. Zaide
as officer in charge of the Batangas Police Provincial Office
through a resolution sponsored by Gov. Adolph Edward Plaza
of Agusan del Sur.
Gov. Sanchez, in a letter addressed to league president,
Bohol Gov. Erico B. Aumentado, sought for an investigation
into the relief of Montenegro and the appointment of Zaide
at the Batangas Police Provincial Office.
The Batangas chief executive pointed out that the order
made by the PNP Regional Office to relieve Montenegro and
appoint Zaide directly violated the PNP Law that requires
the governor to appoint the provincial police chief from
a list of three nominees.
“The termination of the designation of a PNP Provincial
Director who enjoys the trust and confidence of the Governor,
and the appointment of an Officer-in-Charge without prior
consultation diminishes local autonomy and violates the
spirit of the Local Government Code of 1991 and the PNP
Law,” he said.
Although Gov. Sanchez would have wanted the league to conduct
an investigation into the matter, he was prevailed upon
by Gov. Chavit Singson to amend his motion to a complaint
before Dir. Gen. Oscar Calderon in order to expedite the
disposition of the matter. (AJS)
