Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte over the weekend welcomed the Philippine National Police's appointment of P/Brig. Gen. Redrico Maranan as the new acting commander of the Quezon City Police District following the courtesy resignation of P/Brig. Gen. Nicolas Torre III.
Belmonte hopes the new QCPD leadership will continue to adhere tp human rights, justice and equal treatment of QCitizens regardless of their gender, religious beliefs and status in life.
"We are confident that Director Maranan will bring dedication, expertise, and commitment to community safety in this important institution. We look forward to working closely with him and the entire police force to ensure that the security and well-being of the people of Quezon City remain a top priority," she said.
"We also hope that Maranan can also bring justice into the gun-toting incident that happened recently through a fair and unbiased investigation," Belmonte stressed, referring to the latest incident of road rage that prompted Torre to resign.
Maranan was the former PNP Public Information Office chief. With his new designation, PNP spokesperson P/Col. Jean Fajardo will now take over the office in an acting capacity.
Their designation were effective 31 August, according to a copy of a PNP headquarters' order released to the media on Friday.
Torre previously resigned from his post after receiving flak for holding a press conference with a former police officer who was involved in a viral road rage video.
