The DILG welcomes and fully supports President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s appointment of PMGen. Nicolas Torre III as the new PNP Chief.

The President’s decision reflects a careful assessment of PMGen. Torre’s strong credentials and exemplary service. We are confident his leadership will drive transformation, innovation, and strengthen the PNP’s mandate to serve and protect.

We extend our congratulations to PNP Chief Torre as he takes on the challenge of leading our 228,000-strong police force. The DILG stands ready to work with him in advancing internal reforms, fighting illegal drugs and crime, and enhancing police visibility.

We also thank and salute outgoing PNP Chief Rommel Francisco Marbil for his dedicated service and outstanding leadership. Mabuhay po kayo!
