25 Philippine LCEs stripped of power over local police

 The Local Government Code of 1991 (RA 7160), in affirming the Department of Interior and Local Government Act of 1990 (RA 6975), allows local chief executives to exercise supervision and control over the police force in their respective jurisdictions. Unfortunately, this was revoked in the case of  one governor from Region 9 and 24 mayors from different regions because of their alleged links to illegal drugs. The list of those stripped with power over the local police are the following: Antonio Ceriles, governor of Zamboanga del Sur Crisinciano Mahilac - Mayor of Sinacaban Misamis Oriental Michael Gutierrez - Mayor of Lopez Jaena, Misamis Occidental Donjie Animas - Mayor of Sapang Dalaga, Misamis Occidental Jason Almonte - Mayor of Oroquieta City, Misamis Occidental Juanidy ViƱa - Mayor of Concepcion, Misamis Occidental Ezel Villanueva - Mayor of Calamba, Misamis Occidental Ferdinand Aguinaldo - Mayor of Pasuquin, Ilocos Norte Andres Lacson - Mayor of Concepcion, Tarlac
