A FORMER Special Action Force trooper topped the list of passers in this year’s Police Executive Service Eligibility test for the third level ranks, the National Police Commission announced.
Police Supt. Wildemar Tan Tiu, a BS Civil Engineering graduate and member of the Philippine National Police Academy Sambigkis Class of 2003, is this year’s Pese topnotcher.
Tiu, deputy chief of the Permit to Carry Firearm Outside of Residence (PTCFOR) Unit under the Office of the Chief, PNP, placed first among 259 senior police officials who passed the validation interview phase of the Pes Eligibility process.
Napolcom Vice Chairman and Executive Officer Rogelio Casurao said Tiu had remarkable academic credentials.
“Aside from being a licensed civil engineer, he also has two master’s degrees in public administration and business administration. He is also a recipient of numerous awards and commendations in his 16 years of dedicated police service.”
Prior to his present assignment at the PTCFOR Unit, Tiu served as Station Commander of Police Stations 2, 3 and 4 of Cebu City Police Office and assigned at the Headquarters Cebu City Police.
He also served five years at the PNP Special Action Force (Air Unit, Human Resource Doctrine and Development and Rapid Deployment Battalion).
Casurao said the 259 passers represent 90.56 percent of the 286 police officials who underwent the validation interview, the second and final phase of the Pese eligibility process.
The Pese has two phases, the written exam and the panel interview, and is an eligibility requirement for the ranks of police senior superintendent, police chief superintendent, police director, police deputy director general and police director general.
