I am a Police Officer presently assigned here in Mandaue City, how about our status, can we be assigned back to Negros Oriental? When?
Good day to you,
We are just providing the information and have no further connection to any regulating offices and departments. However, as this is really just the announcement about the transitional offices (which will be not fully operational before 2016), we believe that there are many weeks and month to come before anything regarding your questions can be answered.
Have a great week ahead and all the best from Dumaguete 🙂
Based on the information you provided, you are presently a member of the Mandaue City Police Office. I believe that Mandaue City is not among the provinces that are included in the Negros Island Region. Now, may I asks where is your place of residence? Do you intend to transfer in any police office/station in Negros Oriental? If that is the case, all existing NAPOLCOM and PNP policies should still be observed. Please coordinate with your R1 of your intention.
When will hiring start for this new offices?
Where can we apply?
Thank you…
The NIR transitional offices will be put together primarily with budget and staff taken from the regional offices of the Central and Western Visayas, where Negros Oriental and Occidental belonged to.
Have a great week ahead and all the best from Dumaguete 🙂
how about the Philippine Information Agency? Bacolod or Dumaguete?
We just had the opportunity to ask Vice Governor “Doc” Mike Macias. According to him PIA will have no united regional office. They already have regional offices in Bacolod as well as in Dumaguete.
good evening, i am currently at deped-iloilo! could i request for a transfer to Deped-NIR? & if i could where will i submit my request?
Good day to you,
we are a private run website. For your concerns you would need to get in touch with the office in charge.
