'New' position being offered to Torre — Palace
The Palace removed Torre as head of the 228,000-strong police organization on Aug. 25, 2025, barely three months since his appointment in late June.
Local Government Secretary Juanito Victor Remulla said Torre’s relief was to uphold the authority of the National Police Commission (Napolcom) over the PNP., This news data comes from:http://www.aichuwei.com
To recall, Torre disregarded a Napolcom order invalidating his order to reassign some PNP officials, including his successor, Lt. Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr.
Nartatez, who was then deputy chief for administration, was transferred to the Area Police Command (APC) in Western Mindanao.
