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
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.
Daisyrose Penales says
Please tulongan po ninyo ako kailangan ko po talaga ang perma ng DIRECTOR yong waiver ko.

iSensey says
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.
john emil dela cruz says
hindi po ba magagawan ng way kung 5’3″ in height lng ako?
iSensey says
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
Di po talaga pwedi e consider nalang? Pero kung 30y/O na mag apply pwedi pa? Wla ba silang balak baguhin ang age limit?☹️
