The Philippine National Police (PNP) announced a revamp on Monday, April 5, affecting 22 officials, including the Cordillera region s police chief, Brigadier General R win Pagkalinawan, who has been transferred to a staff position at Camp Crame.
Pagkalinawan is now with the PNP Directorate for Personnel Records and Management under the PNP Personnel Holding & Accounting Unit, the PNP said. The transfer order does not indicate his exact position in the unit.
Replacing him as the new Cordillera police chief is Police Brigadier General Ronald Lee.
The Cordillera police has been mired in controversies, one of which was Pagkalinawan s shoot-to-kill order in January against Cordillera Peoples Alliance (CAP) Chairman Windel Bolinget, who is facing murder complaints. CAP denounced Pagkalinawan’s order, saying this encourages violence and terrorism among the ranks of the police.”

In a joint manifestation filed on Tuesday, March 9, the lawyers cited the case of Angelo Karlo Guillen, counsel in one of the 37 petitions against ATA, who was assaulted in Iloilo City last March 3. Guillen survived the attack.
Other reiterative motions filed with the SC for the issuance of a temporary restraining order (TRO) against ATA are still pending consideration by the High Court.
One of the motions was filed last February. It cited the arrest of Chad Errol Booc, a volunteer teacher, and Windel Bolinget, chair of the Cordillera People’s Alliance which is one of the ATA petitioners, at the retreat house of the University of San Carlos in Cebu City for allegedly “recruiting and exploiting minors to be trained as child warriors.”
