CEBU, Philippines - Bureau of Fire Protection head Chief Supt .Carlito Romero has ordered the transfer of Mandaue City fire marshal Chief Inspector Ronaldo Orbeta to Bohol province as acting fire marshal.
He will be replaced by Senior Inspector Joel Abarquez, formerly the fire marshal of Naga city.
