The Napolcom, through Resolution 2025-0531 dated Aug. 14, a copy of which was obtained by Crame Crame reporters on Friday, ordered the PNP to bring Lt. Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez back as deputy chief for administration and Lt. Gen. Bernard Banac back as Area Police Command (APC) Western Mindanao commander. “Any designation, assignments [and] reassignments without prior review and confirmation of the Napolcom shall be deemed ineffective,” it added. “Non-compliance with the requirements herein prescribed shall subject accountable officers to administrative sanctions.”
