National Bureau of Investigation facade (Facebook page) MANILA - President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has appointed long-time Assistant Director Medardo de Lemos as the new director of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), Press Secretary Trixie Cruz-Angeles announced on Monday. "Director De Lemos rose from the ranks and his appointment as NBI Director is a strong indication of President Marcos' commitment in strengthening the system of 'meritocracy' in the promotion, placement and hiring of government personnel," Cruz-Angeles said. De Lemos, a lawyer and career officer who had been with the NBI for more than 30 years, was earlier designated NBI officer-in-charge (OIC) by Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla. He replaced Eric Distor, who was appointed by President Rodrigo Duterte last March. An attached agency of the DOJ, the NBI is mandated to investigate or assist in the investigation of major crimes in the country. De Lemos has been with the NBI for 37 years
