The appointments of Police Colonels Eugene Rebadomia and Timmar Alam as directors of the Bacolod City Police Office (BCPO) and Negros Oriental Police Provincial Office (NORPPO), respectively, have been confirmed by their local chief executives.
After serving as officer-in-charge for three months, Rebadomia has officially been appointed as the full-fledged BCPO director, effective May 9, following the endorsement from Bacolod City Mayor Greg Gasataya.
Rebadomia, who thanked Gasataya for his confirmation, also outlined key priorities under his leadership, including continuation of intensified operations against illegal drugs, smuggling of cigarettes, and other unlawful activities in the city.
He also underscored the need to improve police responsiveness to public complaints and concerns, urging residents to promptly report suspicious activities to authorities.
Governor Manuel Sagarbarria also confirmed earlier the appointment of Alam as provincial police director of Negros Oriental.
His appointment was described by NOrPPO as a recognition of his leadership performance, operational competence, and commitment to public safety.
During his tenure as NOrPPO OIC, Alam led intensified anti-criminality campaigns, strengthened law enforcement operations, improved police-community relations, and reinforced coordination with local government units and partner agencies across the province.
As he expressed appreciation for the trust given by the Philippine National Police leadership, local officials, and personnel of the provincial office, Alam reaffirmed his commitment to lead with integrity and professionalism, stressing the importance of unity, discipline, and teamwork in sustaining the organization’s achievements and enhancing public service delivery.
Both appointments mark key leadership developments aimed at strengthening policing operations and improving public safety across Negros Island.*
