Director General Ronald dela Rosa, chief of the Philippine National Police (PNP), has rejected proposals to allow the return of the graduates of the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) in the police service.

Dela Rosa also said that allowing the return of the PMA graduates would violate a law that disallows the commissioning of PMA graduates as officers of the PNP.
“I am contemplating on that but in the AFP (Armed Forces of the Philippines) alone, PMA is not enough to supply the demand for officers,” said dela Rosa.
The official was reacting to the proposal that came amid the lack of officers to supply the roster of officers of the police force following the series of recruitment for more policemen.
During the time of PNP chief Alan Purisima, a Technical Working Group was created to study the return of PMA graduates in the police service but it did not materialize.
One of the reasons cited is the possible escalation of rift between PMA and PNP Academy graduates which is already brewing over competition to get juicy posts in the police service.
The last batch of PMA graduates in the PNP are those from Class 1992, with officials projecting that there PNPA graduates would dominate PNP by 2027.
Dela Rosa said the solution he sees is to increase the quota for those who want to enter the PNPA.
The official said that doing so would be in line with the directive of President Duterte to allow more Moslems and other members of ethnic groups to the PNPA.
