Newly appointed Philippine National Police chief Ricardo Marquez during a media briefing at Camp Crame, Quezon City.
Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Director General Ricardo Marquez has assured all police officials and personnel of fair placement and promotion, noting that they will be based on merit, competence and seniority.
"I have issued instructions to the Directorate for Personnel and Records Management to constitute a study group composed of representatives from all sources of commission, with a human resources expert from the private sector, to work on the mechanics of a competency-based selection, placement and promotion system that is sustainable, fair and reliable," Marquez said.
He cited that his appoint as PNP chief is a product of meritocracy, with the chief executive recognizing his 33 years of hard work.
"It is but fitting that I make meritocracy the hallmark of my administration," he added.
He said that he will erase the image of the appointing power as one with perceived bias against PNP personnel who did not graduate from the Philippine Military Academy (PMA).
Marquez reiterated his position that there must be equal opportunities for everyone in the PNP regardless of the source of commission as well as gender.
He also took exception to statement attributed to the PNPA Alumni Association Inc. that assailed Interior and Local Government Secretary Mar Roxas for alleged inaction on their appeal to correct the disparity in the promotion and assignment of officers in the PNP.
Marquez also said that "this system shall guide higher authorities in making informed decisions when they appoint police commanders."
