Of the 83 PNCOs, 30 were promoted to Police Officer 2, Police Officer 3 - 34 , Senior Police Officer 1 - 7, Senior Police Officer 2 - two Senior Police Officer 3 – 9 and one to the rank of Senior Police Officer 4.

Supt. Antonietto Canete, former Himamaylan police chief, replaced Supt. Leo Irwin Agpangan as NOPPO deputy provincial police director for Administration, while Supt. Samuel Mina assumed the position of deputy provincial police director for Operations and concurrent NOPPO Operations and Plans Branch chief.

Agpangan and Supt. Remus Zacharias Canieso, predecessor of Mina, are now assigned at the Police Regional Office 6 in Iloilo City.*
