MARIT STINUS-CABUGON
POLICE Brig. Gen. Valeriano de Leon was suddenly relieved as chief of Police Regional Office 7 (PRO-7) on February 6. He served as police regional director for less than four months. Philippine National Police chief Gen. Archie Gamboa cited de Leon’s failure to deliver the expected results in the campaigns against illegal drugs, illegal gambling and rogue cops as reason for his relief.
