Davao City has new police chief

DAVAO CITY — This city’s newly installed police chief, Senior Superintendent Wilfredo Garcia, vowed to relentlessly go after illegal gambling, illegal drugs and other forms of criminality.

Garcia assumed the post following turnover rites last Thursday at Camp Domingo Leonor. He replaced Senior Superintendent Joselito Pomperada who had served for 25 months.

Garcia also promised to work for a much better police force in the city by going after misfits and scalawags in the command.

Garcia was previously assigned to the Philippine National Police headquarters at Camp Crame.

City Mayor Benjamin de Guzman hopes that Garcia would be able to launch an aggressive anti-crime campaign. — Edith Regalado
