Senior Superintendent Vicente Danao Jr. replaced Chief Superintendent Rolando
Anduyan who has been moved to the Northern Police District.


The new MPD chief is a former Chief of police of Davao City under then Mayor
Rodrigo Duterte. He served as Davao City police chief from 2013 to 2016.


He also once served as the deputy chief of operations of the Criminal Investigation
and Detection Group.


He belongs to the Philippine Military Academy Sambisig Class of 1991.


Danao's appointment comes a week after a sex-for-freedom case rocked the MPD
involving a cop who victimized a teenage girl in exchange for the freedom of her
detained parents. Months earlier, however, there was already talk in Camp Crame
that Danao would replace Anduyan.
