Worthy to be emulated also are the successful 2008 bar examinees and their respective families who made sacrifices in order to hurdle the most grueling government administered examination and perhaps would not only give them and their families better lives but also progress to the community where they belong. May these bar passers be catalysts for change.
Congratulations to our alma mater, the University of Nueva Caceres – College of Law for producing another bar topnotcher in the person of Atty. John Michael Galauran who placed 5th in the recent bar examinations and who duplicated the feat of Judge David Naval who landed in the same spot in the 1961 Bar Examinations. UNC certainly made history, Cheers!

In the previous issue we dwelt on how a chief of police of a municipality may be appointed. Following is the procedure on how a PNP Provincial Director may be appointed.
“On the matter of assignment/designation of Provincial Director and Chief of Police of highly urbanized cities, the following shall be complied with: The list of three (3) qualified eligibles in the case of provinces, or five (5) qualified eligibles in the case of highly urbanized cities, shall be submitted by the PNP Regional Director, a copy of transmittal letter furnished the Napolcom Regional Director, to the Commission for review and approval, through the Chief, PNP.
Upon approval, the Commission returns the list to the PNP Regional Director through the Chief, PNP. Any disagreement or objection by the Commission to any of the recommendees shall be returned to the PNP National Headquarters with specific instructions and/or corrective actions.
The PNP Regional Director transmits the list of qualified eligibles to the Provincial Governor/City Mayor for him/her to select the Provincial Director/Chief of Police (City Director) within ten (10) working days from receipt of the list.
The Provincial Governor shall signify his/her choice in writing to the PNP Regional Director, who shall thereafter issue the order of assignment accordingly. In case of confl ict between the PNP Regional Director and the Provincial Governor, either of them may refer the matter to the NAPOLCOM Regional Director who shall resolve the matter within five (5) working days from receipt thereof. The decision of the latter shall be final and immediately executory unless appealed to the Commission en banc which shall resolve the matter with finality and order the implementation within ten (10) working days from acquisition of jurisdiction over the issue.
