House elects new sergeant-at-arms

The House of Representatives elected a new sergeant-at-arms of the chamber on Monday.

During the plenary session, lawmakers accepted the resignation of Sergeant-at-Arms Mao Aplasca. GMA News Online has reached Aplasca for the reason for his resignation but he has yet to reply as of posting time.

Aplasca was replaced by retired Police Brigadier General Rodelio Jocson who previously served as director of the PNP Maritime Group and chief of the Maguindanao provincial police.

Jocson took his oath before Speaker Lord Allan Velasco. — Anna Felicia Bajo/RSJ, GMA News
