Career
editGraduate of Philippine Military Academy class of 1966, Sarmiento served as commander of Special Action Force from June 6, 1992, until January 2, 1994,[1] and National Capital Region Command.[2] He became PNP chief in 1994, surpassing the older batches of class '61 to '65.[3] This move was seen by some as a challenge to the established seniority hierarchy within the PNP. Despite facing criticism and accusations of failed leadership from columnists, Sarmiento completed his term as PNP Chief, which lasted until December 15, 1997. [4]
