Police Regional Office in Central Visayas (PRO – 7) director Police Brigadier General Albert Ignatius Ferro said on Thursday that outgoing Bohol Police Provincial Police Office (BPPO) acting director Police Colonel Jonathan Cabal was promoted as Regional Chief Director Staff for Eastern Visayas.
Ferro said Police Colonel Joselito Lacro Clarito will replace Cabal as the new head of BPPO starting on May 4.
“His (Colonel Cabal) transfer to Tacloban City where PRO – 8 (Police Regional Office in Eastern Visayas) is based is in fact a promotion in his career as a police official,” Ferro said.
He added that Cabal’s promotion and eventual transfer to Eastern Visayas will not direly affect the operations of Bohol police as it enforces the province’s general community quarantine which will take effect tomorrow, May 1, 2020.
Cabal was assigned to head BPPO in April 2019.
He was previously the chief of the Regional Intelligence Division in PRO – 7.
