DUMAGUETE CITY, Negros Oriental, Philippines — Negros Oriental has a new police chief, the fourth time the leadership of the provincial command was changed in less than a month. Col. Alex Guce Recinto was named provincial director following the relief of Col. Reynaldo Lizardo on March 22, around two weeks after the assassination of Negros Oriental Roel Degamo inside his residential compound in Pamplona town on March 4. Central Visayas regional police spokesperson Lt. Col. Gerard Ace Pelare said he was not privy to the reasons behind Lizardo's relief and surmised that it was part of an 'ongoing administrative reshuffle' involving other police officials in other regions.
