BACOLOD CITY — Police Col. Criscente Carbonilla Tiguelo has been designated as the new officer-in-charge of the Negros Oriental Police Provincial Office.
His appointment took effect Sept. 16, based on an order issued by the Police Regional Office–Negros Island Region on Sept. 15.
Before his assignment to Norppo, Tiguelo served as chief of the Regional Operations Division of PRO–NIR.
He is a member of the Philippine National Police Academy Class of 2000.
Tiguelo formally replaced Police Col. Ronan Claravall as Norppo provincial director during a turnover ceremony held Tuesday in Negros Oriental.
Police Brig. Gen. Arnold Thomas Ibay, PRO–NIR director, expressed confidence in Tiguelo’s leadership.
He said he expects the continuity of strong law enforcement efforts aligned with the mission and vision of PRO–NIR and the PNP.
“We remain steadfast in our commitment to ensure peace and order in Negros Oriental,” Ibay said.
The regional office also reaffirmed its commitment to community-based policing grounded in transparency, accountability, and professionalism.
Claravall, meanwhile, will be reassigned to the Directorate for Operations at the PNP National Headquarters in Camp Crame.
