Noynoy appoints Bacalzo as PNP chief, bane of junior officers

The warning previously transmitted by the junior officers of the Philippine National Police (PNP), which Malacañang merely branded as “speculative”, had completely fallen on the deaf ears of President Aquino III as he named PNP deputy director general for operations, Raul Bacalzo, as its next top official.
Bacalzo, a member of the Philippine Military Class 1977, edged out fellow nominees PNP deputy chief for administration Dir. Gen. Perfecto Palad and PNP chief for directorial staff Dir. Benjamin Belarmino.
Palad was considered by many as the most qualified for the position if the seniority rule and police hierarchy would be faithfully taken into consideration by the appointing authority that is Aquino — their Commander-in-Chief.
