Philippine National Police (PNP) officer-in-charge P/Lt. Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr. will have big shoes to fill amid lingering questions behind the relief of his predecessor P/Gen. Nicolas Torre III, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Wednesday.
Lacson, who served as PNP chief from 1999 to 2001, said Torre earned the public’s trust with policies such as the five-minute response time rule for police.
“Lt. Gen. Nartatez faces a big challenge because he has big shoes to fill,” he said in Filipino in an interview on DZRH radio.
“I mentioned before that he was the person the PNP needed because he is mission-oriented and is prepared to sacrifice himself to accomplish his mission. He has a good attitude,” he added, referring to Torre.
