PNP spokesperson Brig. Gen. Jean Fajardo said national police chief Gen. Nicolas Torre III has underscored the importance of physical fitness, asserting that a well-maintained body is a reflection of discipline.

"As they say, a sound body, sound mind, thus the physical appearance of the police should already reflect discipline. That is what our Chief PNP wants," said Fajardo.

She emphasized that there is no excuses, citing Torre's ability to perform 100 push-ups at the age 55 as proof of his commitment to fitness.

Besides, Fajardo noted that the PNP has an existing policy stating that officers who fail the physical fitness test twice cannot be promoted - a rule that will now be strictly implemented.
