NAPOLCOM sets guidelines for MILF and MNLF entry into the PNP

The National Police Commission (NAPOLCOM) sets guidelines and procedures to facilitate the entry into the Philippine National Police (PNP) of qualified members of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) within five (5) years from the ratification of Republic Act No. 11054, also known as the Organic Law for the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao.

Under Memorandum Circular No. 2022-001, dated May 24, 2022, the NAPOLCOM En Banc prescribed the grant of waiver for age, height and educational requirements to truly afford MILF and MNLF members the opportunity to join the police service. The age requirement for MILF and MNLF applicants shall not be below 20 nor over 35 years of age. For applicants belonging to a cultural community or an indigenous group, they must be at least 1.52 meters in height for male and 1.45 meters for female, provided that they secure certification of membership from the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos (NCMF) or from the Ministry of Indigenous People’s Affairs (MIPA).

For the educational requirement, applicants must have completed at least four (4) years of high school studies from a secondary school under the previous four-year high school program or Junior High School under the K-12 Basic Education Curriculum, or its Alternative Learning System (ALS) Accreditation and Equivalency Program accredited by the Department of Education (DepEd) or by the Ministry of Basic, Higher and Technical Education (MBHTE).

However, the eligibility requirement is not covered by a waiver provision. Thus, the Commission conducted the NAPOLCOM Special Qualifying Eligibility Examination (NSQEE) exclusively for the bona fide members of the MILF and MNLF on May 29, 2022. From the 7,145 NSQEE passers, 5,060 will be recruited as Patrolman/Patrolwoman for the Police Regional Office-Bangsamoro Autonomous Region (PRO-BAR).

MILF and MNLF eligibles who aspire to join the PNP shall undergo and pass the PNP recruitment process which includes measure of Body Mass Index (BMI); Physical Agility Test (PAT); Physical/Psychological Examination (PPE); Physical, Medical and Dental Examination (PMDE); Drug Test (DT); Character and Background Investigation (CBI); and Final Interview. Those who complete the recruitment and selection process shall be issued temporary appointment. Permanent appointment may only be given after they meet the prescribed educational requirement of baccalaureate degree which they have to obtain within fifteen (15) years upon entry into the police service.

Once appointed into the PNP, they shall undergo a mandatory 12-month Public Safety Basic Recruit Course (PSBRC) and Field Training Program (FTP) together with all the appointed police recruits of the PRO-BAR. Observance of Muslim beliefs, customs, traditions and rituals shall be respected at all times, which includes the wearing of Hijab by female recruits.

The NAPOLCOM MC No. 2022-001 also requires the NAPOLCOM and PNP to implement a proactive recruitment strategy in the BARMM to encourage increased local applicants for the PRO-BAR wherein ten percent (10%) of the recruitment quota shall be reserved for female applicants. Likewise, the Recruitment and Selection Committee in the PRO-BAR is enjoined to strictly follow the sequential steps in the processing of applicants to ensure that only those who passed the previous stage shall be allowed to proceed to the next step.

Further, it is explicitly stated in the NAPOLCOM MC No. 2022-001 that the general qualifications and waivers for appointment provided thereon shall be applicable only to MILF and MNLF members who shall apply to the PNP within the five-year prescribed period. Thereafter, applicants must comply with the existing general qualifications and waivers for appointments governing the PNP as provided for under R.A. No. 6975 (PNP Law), as amended by R.A. No. 8551 (PNP Reform and Reorganization Act of 1998).

The NAPOLCOM assures the public of its readiness, through its Police Examination System, to detect and address examination anomalies using answer pattern analysis, and thereby warns examinees to refrain from committing any form of irregularity, such as cheating, impersonation, perjury, or violation of examination rules, otherwise, they shall be sanctioned with perpetual disqualification from taking future NAPOLCOM examinations.

It shall coordinate with relevant National Government (NG) and Bangsamoro Government (BG) agencies in the processing of paper qualification requirements of applicants; shall authenticate Certificates of Membership issued by the authorized signatories of the MILF and MNLF; and shall endorse and submit applications for the NSQEE to the NAPOLCOM. The Ad Hoc Office on Bangsamoro Policing shall also validate and verify information of applicants, as may be requested by NAPOLCOM; and shall submit updates, reports and recommendations to the Chief Minister and the BG-lntergovernmental Relations Body (IGRB).

To facilitate the entry into the Philippine National Police (PNP) of MILF and MNLF members, the NAPOLCOM was mandated to grant age, height and educational waivers, for a period of five (5) years from the ratification of Republic Act No. 11504, otherwise known as the “Organic Law for the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao”. Eligibility, however, as one of the minimum qualification standards for appointment in the PNP, is not covered by a waiver provision as provided for under paragraph 3, Section 2, Article Xl of RA 11504. Hence, the need to administer the NSQEE.

Passers of the NSQEE will be conferred by the NAPOLCOM with eligibility which can be used solely as appropriate eligibility for the rank of Patrolman/Patrolwoman in a temporary appointment. Permanent appointment may only be given upon satisfaction of the prescribed educational requirement of baccalaureate degree which they have to obtain within fifteen (15) years upon entry to the PNP, as prescribed under Section 14 of RA 8551, on the general qualification for appointment into the PNP. The NSQE, also, shall not automatically entitle the holder to an appointment in the PNP as further prescribed in NAPOLCOM Resolution No. 2022-0081 entitled “Prescribing NAPOLCOM Special Qualifying Eligibility (NSQE) as Appropriate Eligibility for Temporary Appointment to the Rank of Patrolman / Patrolwoman in the Philippine National Police (PNP) for Members of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF)”.

In his message, Secretary Año enjoined the conferees to continue the gains they have accomplished and pursue the internal cleansing and image building for the PNP. He also reminded the police officials to brace themselves for the transition stage when it is time for the country to welcome its next leaders.

“Your strategic direction will surely change based on the priorities they set for the nation in the next six years. Paghandaan natin ito, ngunit huwag din nating kalimutan o iwanan ang mga magagandang programa at repormang tinatag natin sa mga nakaraang anim na taon. Rather, we must push for the continuity of the good programs we began for peace building, community and CSO engagement, good governance, and development. These will serve as the useful foundations that the succeeding administrations can use and build on during their terms,” Secretary Año said.

PLTCOL Cordero, Assistant Regional Chief of the Regional Crime Laboratory Office in Region 8 (RCLO 8), is this year’s topnotcher among the 263 senior police officials who passed both the written examination and the validation interview phases of the PESE examination.

PLTCOL Cordero has remarkable academic credentials. Aside from being a licensed Medical Doctor, he is also a Registered Nurse. He ranked number 4 in Anatomic Pathology Certifying Board Examination and holds a master’s degree in Management major in Public Administration (MMPA). He is also a bemedaled police officer and a recipient of numerous awards and commendations in his 20 years of dedicated police service. He is an experienced Resource Speaker/Lecturer in various schools and training institutions.

Prior to his present assignment at RCLO 8, PLTCOL Cordero served as Assistant Chief and subsequently as Chief of RCLO 4A, Cavite PCLO. He was also assigned at the Administrative and Resource Management Division (ARMD), Service Support Section, PNP NHQ, Camp Crame, Quezon City.

Other PNP officials who made it to the top five are: PLTCOL Richard Allan B. Mangalip, Forensic Chemical Officer at the PNP Crime Laboratory, PNP NHQ, Camp Crame, Quezon City (Top 2); PLTCOL Maria Theresa T. Macatangay, Chief of Police, Danao City Police Station, Cebu Provincial Police Office (Top 3); and PLTCOL Denver A. Alidao, Assistant Chief, Historical and Cultural Affairs Division-Police Community Affairs and Development Group (HCAD- PCADG), PNP NHQ, Camp Crame, Quezon City (Top 4).

Three (3) police officials shared the Top 5 place, namely, PLTCOL Joelito R. Orias, Administrative and Resource Management Division (ARMD), Special Action Force (SAF), Camp Bagong Diwa, Bicutan, Taguig City; PLTCOL Donna N. Villareal, Legal Officer, Directorate for Personnel and Records Management (DPRM), Legal Service; and PLTCOL Joem J. Malong, Officer-in-Charge, Bago City Police Station, Negros Occidental.

The PESE is an eligibility requirement for the third level ranks of Police Colonel, Police Brigadier General, Police Major General, Police Lieutenant General, and Police General. Designed to select the best future leaders in the police service, the PESE, which consists of written examination and panel interview, tests the ability of police officials in answering analytical questions on police leadership and police values.

President Duterte appoints new NAPOLCOM Commissioner

On February 14, 2022, President Rodrigo Roa Duterte appointed former Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Undersecretary Edilberto Dela Cruz Leonardo to become one of the Commissioners of the National Police Commission (NAPOLCOM). Commissioner Leonardo, who represents the law enforcement sector, shall serve a six-year fixed term. His appointment was issued to replace former Commissioner Felizardo M. Serapio, Jr. whose term of office ended on February 11, 2022.

Prior to his appointment to NAPOLCOM, Commissioner Leonardo was the Undersecretary for Protected Areas and Special Concerns of the DENR while serving as the concurrent Executive Director of the Anti-Illegal Logging Task Force.

Commissioner Leonardo also served as the former Regional Chief of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group Regional Field Unit of Police Regional Office 11 until his retirement from the police service on September 29, 2020.

During his oathtaking, Commissioner Leonardo expressed a mixed feeling of enthusiasm and eagerness to take on the challenge as the newly appointed NAPOLCOM Commissioner.

“All I can say is I will do my best at least to approximate the gold standard set by NAPOLCOM under the good leadership of Secretary Año and able stewardship of Vice Chairman Aguirre II. From this day onwards, I will work vigorously with the same zeal and dedication I have done in my previous professional engagements despite of the demanding and challenging tasks ahead of me,” Comr. Leonardo said.

He also stressed his respect in government service, regardless of form and substance which, he believes, should be carried out with a deep sense of honor, pride, and commitment.

At present, the NAPOLCOM is chaired by DILG Secretary Eduardo M. Año with Vice Chairman and Executive Officer (VCEO) Vitaliano N. Aguirre II, Commissioner Job M. Mangente, Commissioner Zenonida F. Brosas and Commissioner Leonardo, as regular members, and PNP Chief Police General Dionardo B. Carlos as ex-officio Commissioner.

“The NAPOLCOM welcomes the well-deserved appointment of Commissioner Leonardo and we assure him of our support and guidance. His vast experience in law enforcement and in the DENR will definitely be an asset to the Commission,” VCEO Aguirre II said.

As part of the NAPOLCOM’s efforts to efficiently streamline the payment of Disability and Death Benefits, a letter was sent to the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) seeking clarification and guidance on whether the corresponding funds for FY 2022 will still be released to the Philippine National Police (PNP). In its reply dated December 7, 2021, the DBM stated that the funding requirements for FY 2022 were still programmed under the PNP Pension and Gratuity Fund. Thus, the same will still be released to the PNP, but disbursements shall be made by the NAPOLCOM. Furthermore, it suggested that a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) on the matter between NAPOLCOM and PNP be executed.

In compliance with the suggestion of the DBM, the NAPOLCOM and PNP have prepared a MOA that will cover the immediate transfer of funds, once the same are released by the DBM to the PNP, for the payment of Disability and Death Benefits for FY 2022. Moreover, all documentary requirements for the payment of pension for January 2022 have been prepared and are now ready for transmittal to Landbank for crediting as soon as the NAPOLCOM receives the required funds.
