MANILA, Philippines – The head of the Metro Manila police force was promoted to two-star rank Thursday, the first in his class to get Director rank among officials of the Philippine National Police.

Chief Superintendent Nicanor Bartolome was promoted to Director in simple ceremonies led by PNP chief Director General Raul Bacalzo at Camp Crame in Quezon City.

A member of the PMA Class 1980, Bartolome was appointed chief of the National Capital Region Police Office last October, after then NCRPO chief Director Leocadio Santiago was relieved from his post due to the botched rescue of Hong Kong tourists last August 23.

The Aquino sisters are adopted members of PMA class ’80.

Bartolome served as PNP spokesman before being appointed as regional director of Calabarzon (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, and Quezon).

Bartolome was the first in his batch in the PNP to get one-star and two-star ranks, respectively.

“I feel I must work harder. I must not rest my laurels,” he said about his promotion.
