Senior Supt. Gil Lebin, a member of the Philippine Military Academy Class 1983, will replace Senior Supt. Renato Gumban as director of the Iloilo Provincial Police Office on August 24.

Marietto Valerio of the PRO6 Regional Investigation and Detective Management Division; Senior Supt. Ricardo de la Paz of PRO6 Regional Operations and Plans Division; Senior Supt.
