Roberto "Bobby"[1] Tupaz Lastimoso is a retired Filipino police officer who served as the Chief of the Philippine National Police from July 1998 to June 1999.[2] [3] He also served as General Manager of MRT-3 from 2004 until 2009,[4] and Chairman of the Philippine National Railways Board from 2017 until 2022.[5] [6]
After being appointed as PNP Chief, Lastimoso wasn't promoted to Director General (4-star general) rank due to Santiago Aliño's being retained to that rank. While he was the PNP chief, he was accused by then-Major General Ping Lacson of trying to protect drug dealers.[7] He also faced graft charges, but was acquitted in 2001.
Lastimoso was graduate of PMA Class of 1967.
