At least 13 senior officers of the Philippine National Police (PNP) were reshuffled following the retirement of some of its ranking officials in the past days.

"The retirement this month of senior officers triggered an upward movement in the echelon and opened opportunities for career advancement of other senior officers," said Danao.
 
"This reassignment as recommended by the Senior Officers’ Placement and Promotion Board is based on the officers' performance and how they can better contribute to the current operational thrusts of the PNP," he added.
