Here's to fit cops
June 27, 2025
|The Freeman
New PNP chief Police General Nicolas Torre III has decided to enforce a weight limit on overweight police officers.
-
“Kung may standard weight and height, hindi ka dapat sobra ng five kilos, hindi ka mababa,” he said.
He added that police officers who fail to reach their ideal weight after one year may be sacked.
This wasn't the first time policemen have been ordered to keep fit. Way back in 2000 when Senator-elect Panfilo Lacson was PNP chief, he also said the waistline of a policeman must not exceed 34 inches so they can stay fit and healthy, and also because a fat policeman gave the illusion that he was prone to corruption.
