Police officers who fail to comply with the required body mass index (BMI) would face sanctions, the Philippine National Police (PNP) said on Friday.
Their BMI would be monitored every month, PNP spokesperson Brig. Gen. Ildebrandi Usana said.
"Kung sino man po ang hindi nakaka-comply sa ganitong panuntunan, meron pong epekto ito sa kanilang schooling, promotion, and even placement sa iba't ibang mga units, assignments (Those who fail to comply with the policy would see the effects on their schooling, promotion, and even placement in different units or assignments}," Usana said in a Laging Handa briefing.
He noted that there is a standing policy on the physical fitness of police officers, saying they should be fit to fulfill their duties.
"We do not want our police officers to be affected or afflicted with diseases as a result of non-compliance with exercise requirements," Usana said.
Too many fatties on the force!

A police officer in Quezon City was suspended for a year after he was found guilty of oppression and grave abuse of authority after he allegedly hit a tricycle driver using his firearm.
The Quezon City’s People’s Law Enforcement Board (PLEB) said in its seven-page decision that Police Officer 2 or Police Corporal Rick Tanguilan “inflicted bodily harm upon the person of the Complainant by hitting the latter’s head with the butt of a gun. And he was able to do this because Respondent gravely abused his authority as police officer.”
The case stemmed from tricycle driver Jerry Jermina’s complaint that accused Tanguilan hit him several times using the butt of his firearm in January 2017.
PLEB, an office that acts on complaints against errant policemen, is handling about 40 cases awaiting resolution as of July 2020.
Why not kick this guy off the force completely?

More than P130,000 worth of methamphetamine hydrochloride or shabu have been confiscated from the Philippine Army’s headquarters in Taguig, according to a report released by the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) on Friday.
Arnold Penkian, a 45-year-old tailor living at the Army camp, was arrested in a sting at the Artillery Training Unit (ATU) office on Nov. 25, NCRPO spokesperson Lt. Col. Jenny Tecson said.
The sting was staged after an informant from the Army reported Penkian’s alleged drug deals.
Penkian’s house was allegedly used as a venue for drug sessions and for other pushers and users to conduct transactions, police said.
How was this man able to operate a drug den while living on an Army base?

Engineer Ponciano Villamil, Barangay Kinasang-an councilor, was passing along an alley near his home on his way to the barangay hall at noon today when the gunman, who waited for him in the alley, shot him with a handgun twice in the back.
The emergency rescue team, who responded to the shooting alarm, declared Villamil “dead on the spot.”
Barangay Captain Susan Enriquez, told reporters that they only knew that there were some complaints against Villamil about land matters.
Another barangay captain assassinated. This time it appears to be over land matters.
