THE chief of the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) decided to cancel the relief order issued against Police Lt. Col. Rosalino Ibay Jr., who heads the Manila Police District-Special Mayors Reaction Team (MPD-Smart).
It can be recalled that the NCRPO chief Police Brig. Gen. Jonnel Estomo earlier issued a relief order against Ibay and be transferred to the Quezon City Police District (QCPD) last week.
With the relief order approved by the NCRPO head, it means that Ibay will remain as part of the MPD.
The NCRPO, however, did not cite specific details as to why the re-assignment of Ibay was cancelled.
Ibay headed the MPD-SMaRT team formed by former Manila Mayor Francisco Domagoso, who personally handpicked Ibay to lead the team.
