PNP blinks as cops protest BMI as mandatory requirement for promotion

The voluminous request letter and even a legal action from the ‘discriminated’ cops forced the Directorate for Personnel Records and Management to recommend for the suspension of the Body Mass Index as a mandatory requirement for promotion of its uniformed personnel.

BMI is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to adult men and women, according to local the United States Department of Health and Human Services. According to the experts, a BMI less than 18.5 is considered as underweight while those between 18.5 to 24.9 is considered normal. A BMI between 25-29.9 is considered overweight while those who has more than 30 BMI are considered obese.

He added that the current situation in the country wherein the conduct of physical activities are limited due to observation of minimum public health safety protocol only prevents concerned PNP personnel from achieving their goal.

Sayang, Sinas and Bato are out. Sana naging example...... IF..... walang double standard sa Duterte admin.

I wasn't informed that being fit and healthy is discriminatory this days 🤔

huh? pano naging discriminatory yan? POLICE sila they are bound to guidelines. Nag aral dapat physically fit. Nag apply for work physically fit. tapos pag nasa position.hayaan nalang?tapos discriminatory? what an excuse. Physical aspect plays a big role as Police.

Kaya tumataba mga iyan eh paupo-upo at patulog tulog lang sa duty tapos mga pulis na ito tapos ipo-promote pa ng pnppio . At ngayon para mapromote, pinag e-exercise lang reklamo na agad.
