BARELY two weeks after the recent reshuffling in Bacolod City Police Office (BCPO), the commander of Police Station 10 has been relieved due to his suspension by Police Regional Office 6 (PRO-6) for a pending case.

Station 10 Police Senior Inspector Terence Paul Sta. Ana was relieved after receiving his suspension order from PRO-6, said BCPO spokesman Police Superintendent Santiago Rapiz Thursday.

Rapiz said Sta. Ana will be replaced by Police Senior Inspector Ruel Culanag, the deputy chief of Station 6.

Last February 1, BCPO chief Senior Superintendent Ricardo de la Paz ordered a reshuffling of station commanders, which affected Stations 2, 6, 9 and 10. In the reshuffling, Sta. Ana replaced Police Senior Inspector Robert Dejucos as the new chief of Station 10.

Rapiz said the PRO-6 issued the suspension order of Sta. Ana with the effectivity February 1 to July 31, 2012, noting that the suspension order was based on his pending case in Iloilo City before he was assigned in BCPO.

He said upon receiving the suspension order, which was signed by PRO-6 director, Chief Superintendent Cipriano Querol Jr., the city director also immediately relieved Sta. Ana from his post in Station 10 and designating Culanag to replace him.

Rapiz added that Sta. Ana’s relief takes effect today, February 10.

Police Inspector Leo Canag of the BCPO Public Safety Company, will be also assigned as the new deputy of Station 6 in replacement of Culanag.
