PRO-7 chief believes Capa eyes star rank

Bryner L. Diaz - The Freeman

CEBU, Philippines - While Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama wants to keep Senior Superintendent Conrad Capa as head of Cebu City Police Office, the latter is apparently eyeing other positions, particularly one that has a rank of a general.

This was according to Police Regional Office-7 Director Chief Superintendent Prudencio Tom Bañas.

Bañas said that Capa may be aiming for a star rank officer and choosing to go with Rama’s wish may delay his ambition.

“If he stays with Cebu City he has to forego permanently at that…his dream of being appointed as a star rank officer,” he added.

Bañas explained that it is Rama’s prerogative as the city mayor to have someone of his choice to be the CCPO director. However, Bañas said he thinks Capa wants to become a general.

“That’s his prerogative as a mayor but professionally, I also think that Senior Superintendent Capa, as part of his dream, also wants a star rank,” Bañas said.

Should he decide to apply for the position of CCPO director, Capa needs to put his intentions into writing, Bañas said.

However, Bañas had said in an earlier interview that Capa is overqualified for the position.

But before Capa could be appointed as permanent city director, his application will be scrutinized by the Senior Officers Promotion and Placement Board of the national headquarters.

Capa was quoted after the Sinulog celebration as saying that he wanted to stay for another year.

Rama said that he would not choose for a city director in case a list is submitted to him because he believes that Capa is performing well.

Capa has been the officer-in-charge of CCPO for the past two months after Senior Superintendent Noli Romana was relieved from his post in December 2014.

He is also the deputy director for operations of PRO-7.  (FREEMAN)
