Taal explodes; ashfall hits Metro Manila
Helen Flores (The Philippine Star) - January 13, 2020 - 12:00am
Just days after Joseph Estrada assumed the presidency in 1998, he had ordered all
members of the Philippine National Police to lose their potbellies and slim down.
Keeping physically fit was in line with the program to instill police discipline. Estrada’s
PNP chief Panfilo Lacson and Manila police chief Avelino Razon told cops to exercise,
do pushups and even take up dancing.
Together with a crackdown on kotong or mulcting cops who victimized traffic offenders,
Lacson launched a campaign against beer bellies in the PNP.
In June 2012, then PNP chief Nicanor Bartolome, an avid runner, reiterated the directive
for cops to slim down. Earlier this week, PNP officer-in-charge Archie Gamboa revived
the order, saying overweight cops would not be allowed to undergo training for purposes
of new assignments and promotion. He said an overweight PNP general is now on a
yogurt diet to comply with the order. It’s unclear if it was a complete joke.
Slimming down
(The Philippine Star) - January 10, 2020 - 12:00am
Slimming down may be seen as mere cosmetic reform in an organization with numerous
problems. Also, weight is not an accurate measure of a cop’s performance. Physical
appearance, however, reflects the level of discipline in the PNP. As in the military, the police
service is expected to put a premium on discipline within the ranks.
Everyone also performs better in good health, and keeping physically fit is a component of
any health regimen. Maintaining the proper weight helps in optimum performance of tasks.
Overweight cops have been favorite subjects of caricatures denigrating the PNP. Losing
weight may be a cosmetic change, but physically fit police officers enhance the image of
the PNP. Ranking officers in particular must lead the way in showing that they have enough
self-discipline to maintain a healthy weight, to go hand-in-hand with other reforms in the
police service. Fat cops have nothing to lose – except excess weight.
2020 a critical year: Where are we heading?

The victory improved the Giant Lanterns record to 16-9, tied for fifth
spot with Bataan, and just half-a-game below fourth-place Bulacan.
"Sobrang ginanahan talaga ako kasi home court namin ito eh,
nanonood ang mga taga Pampanga kaya ginawa ko lang ang best
ko para makuha yung panalo," the former Arellano standout said.
