PNP posts ‘vacancies’ on nearly 8,000 slots
The Philippine National Police (PNP) has nearly 8,000 slots up for grabs in promotional vacancies.
This, following the projected rank profile that yielded said number leading to the 2009 Promotion Program.
As such, ranks from Police Officer (PO) II to Police Superintendent (PSupt.) will be filled in giving the PNP a new roster of officials.
Police Regional Office (PRO) 6 in a news release welcomed the development citing specifics of the slot vacancies.
From said figure, 2,640 vacancies are slated for Police Inspectors ready to become PSupt. Further still, 5,046 vacancies have been identified for POII to Senior Police Office IV (SPOIV).
“The processing of the 2009 promotional program started May 1 and shall be completed on or before October 15, 2009. This gives ample time for the National Headquarters Promotion Boards to review for confirmation the worksheets and resolutions of the different Police Regional Offices and National Support Units prior to the attestation of appointments and issuance of promotion orders,” the PRO 6 news release went. “However, all documents in relation to the minimum qualification standards on education training, eligibility, experience/time in grade and other collateral requirements such as attested permanent appointment and clearances must be submitted to respective Regional Personnel and Human Resource Development Division on or before July 31, 2009.”
Police Regional Office 6 director, Police Chief Superintendent Isagani R Cuevas, said only applicants who fully meet the minimum qualification standards and have submitted the mandatory documentary and collateral requirements shall be processed and scheduled for board interview.
Cuevas also said that those who are still on schooling, with pending cases, or the result of the eligibility examination is still unpublished on interview day are considered not qualified for promotion.
“There shall be no promotion on temporary status,” he clarified.
Meantime, PNP personnel seeking for promotion to the next higher rank are required to submit three folders of documentary requirements. Folder “A” must contain updated personal data sheet (PDS) with recent 2x2 picture, latest promotion order and appointment order, appropriate eligibility, training diploma, individual performance evaluation ratings and physical fitness results in the last two semesters.
Applicants must also secure the following clearances from: People’s Law Enforcement Board (PLEB), Internal Affairs Service (IAS), National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), National Police Commission (Napolcom), and Court. They must also submit an Affidavit of Undertaking and list of awards on present rank. All this constitutes folder “B”.
Another folder (Folder “C”) containing their updated PDS, attested permanent appointment, Transcript of Records/Diploma, Training Diploma and Order of Merit, and eligibility must also be submitted during the evaluation and screening of documents which is the Phase 2 of the promotion program.
The applicants must also be reminded that photocopied documents must be authenticated from its source or by the issuing unit/office.
Cuevas said those personnel who do not possess the minimum qualification standards need not apply for promotion. (With reports from PO3 Francisco B Lindero, Jr)
