Police career
editLastimoso was graduate of PMA Class of 1967.[2]
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.[a] While he was the PNP chief, he was accused by then-Major General Ping Lacson of trying to protect drug dealers.[5][3] He also faced graft charges, but was acquitted in 2001.[4]
Transportation official
editLastimoso first served in the transportation sector as chief of the Land Transportation Office (LTO) on January 9, 2002, replacing Edgardo Abenina,[6] and served until July 3, and replaced by Agustin Bengzon. On his time at LTO, he was berated by President Gloria Arroyo before getting replaced.[7]
He also served as General Manager of MRT-3 from 2004 until 2009.[8]
He served as Chairman of the Philippine National Railways Board from 2017 until 2022.[9][10]
