Bulacan PNP platoon leader relieved for abandoning post

BOCAUE, Bulacan, Philippines —  A platoon leader of the police community precinct in Barangay Turo in this town was relieved from her post on Friday for allegedly abandoning her post.

Capt. Norheda Usman, third platoon leader of the First Provincial Mobile Force Company, left her post to attend a Christmas party,  Col. Emma Libunao, Bulacan police acting director, said.

The police in this town is on high alert due to the influx of people buying fireworks and pyrotechnic products for New Year’s Eve.

Libunao said Usman also failed to update the police directory at community precinct wherein retired Gen. Oscar Albayalde was still listed as Philippine National Police chief.

Capt. Michael Udal was appointed as Usman’s replacement.
