00:00It's a formal decision, not an extension, in the service of PNP Chief General Rommel Marville,
00:05possibly announced by President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr.
00:09before February 7, Alvin Balcazar of Radyo Pilipinas in Balitang Pambansa.
00:18Before February 7, possibly formally announced by President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr.,
00:23the extension of the term of PNP Chief General Rommel Marville.
00:28According to DILG Secretary John V. Romulia,
00:32following the first recommendation to extend Marville's term of office for six months
00:38due to the midterm election on May 12,
00:42there is no final decision about this by the President,
00:46even though the President is inclined to give it importance
00:49when asked in a media interview.
00:51Romulia said that before February 7, Marville's 56th birthday,
00:59it is possible for the President to make an announcement.
01:02For now, the President is inclined to use the words
01:07in front of the recommendation to extend the term of PNP Chief General Rommel Marville for several months.
01:12There is no final announcement.
01:14General Rommel Marville's birthday is February 7.
01:18Before that, he will announce the decision.
01:21As of now, Romulia has not seen any intention of joining the PNP
01:27even though the term of PNP Chief General Rommel Marville has been extended.
01:31DILG Chief General Rommel Marville also added that the reassignment of PNP personnel
01:36has been completed and he will not be able to re-assign his personnel
01:40so he will not be able to fulfill his status quo.
01:45The most important thing, according to DILG,
01:47is the firmness of the institution, especially during elections.
01:54The stability of the institution is good, especially during elections.
01:58Because now, the reassignment of personnel has been completed.
02:02So if there will be a new PNP Chief General, he will not be able to re-assign his personnel.
02:06So I might as well keep my status quo until after the BARMM elections
02:12and then he will choose a new PNP Chief General.
02:14Marville, the 30th PNP Chief General,
02:17started as the PNP Chief General on April 1, 2024
