Baguio Boy takes Oath as PNP Chief before Duterte

President Rodrigo Duterte has administered the oathtaking and donning of rank of newly-appointed Police General Camilo Cascolan as the new chief of the Philippine National Police (PNP) in a ceremony at the Malacañang Golf (MALAGO) Clubhouse in Manila on Sept. 7, 2020.

Cascolan is the first Baguio resident to become CPNP.

Cascolan is one of the police generals who crafted Oplan Double Barrel, the police's bible in anti-drug operations under the Duterte administration which institutionalized Oplan High-Value Target and Oplan TokHang.

Cascolan is also among the generals called the "Davao boys" for enjoying links with President Duterte, serving multiple times in the Davao Region.

Cascolan also belongs to PMA Class of 1986 - the same class as Gamboa, Albayalde, and Dela Rosa. Among them, Cascolan considers former top cop Dela Rosa as one of his closest friends.
