Introduced by HON. RODRIGO A. ABELLANOSA.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

It is the policy of the State to promote peace and order, ensure public safety and further
strengthen local government capability aimed towards the effective delivery of the basic
services to the citizenry through the establishment of a highly efficient and competent police
force that is national in scope and civilian in character.

Pursuant to this policy, it is necessary for the State to hamess alll available talents from all over
the country. In this connection, we must make accessible the specialized education and training
program provided by the Philippine National Academy to aspiring uniformed personnel

It is a known fact that many of these aspirants come from far out reaches of the country and a
good many of them come from unprivileged families. This bill seeks that a PNPA campus be
established in every region of the country. Bringing the PNPA campuses closer to them
increases their chances of obtaining the necessary training that will allow them to be among the
best of our uniformed personnel.

In light of the foregoing, passage of this bill is earnestly sought
