    tanong lng po kailan po ba lagyan ng panibagong REGIONAL DIRECTOR ang REGION11 sabi nila mula NOVEMBER wala na raw DIRECTOR paano to di pa napermahan ang waiver ko kailangan kona talaga naiwan na ako sa mga kasamahan ko na aplicante dahil kulang ng perma ang waiver ko

    • iSensey says

      January 16, 2017 at 10:00 am

      Hi Daisy, ang makakasagot lang ng tanong mo ay yung mga other officers din na nasa Region 11 ng PNP. Kumausap ka ng police officer dun at magpa advise ka kung ano dapat mong gawin, itanong mo din kung sino ang officer in-charge na puedeng pumirma sa waiver hanggang naghihintay pa ng permanent Director.

  2. Daisyrose Penales says

    • iSensey says

      March 2, 2017 at 1:42 pm

      Based sa requirement hindi ka pasok sa height, pero to be 100% sure tumawag ka sa Butuan office na mag-aadminister ng PNP exam, mahirap na ang magsisi kaya go ka direct sa source which is by calling PNP mismo.

      Hindi po, strict po sa height requirement ang PNP, unless you belong to a cultural minority group like Mangyan na puedeng kumuha ng waiver.

    • iSensey says

      Hi Annalyn, your age does not meet the requirement po for new PNP applicant. Try niyo po itawag sa PNP baka they might give you exception, but if they will be strict that rules are rules, hindi po puede.

      • Annalyn Legaspi says
