MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine National Police (PNP) has started reviewing the applications of members of two Muslim groups who wish to join the police service.

The regional government of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) and the National Police Commission signed last year an agreement allowing qualified members of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) to take the Napolcom special qualifying eligibility examination.

The entry of the MILF and MNLF members into the police force is provided under the Bangsamoro Organic Law.

Of the 11,033 examinees, 7,145 representing 64.77 percent passed the exams conducted in May 2022 in the cities of Cotabato and Lamitan.

Of the 7,145 who passed the exams, only 1,000 were endorsed by the Bangsamoro government, which is one of the requirements for the entry into the PNP of the MILF and MNLF members.

Of the 1,000 exam passers endorsed by the Bangsamoro government, 700 are from the MILF.

Successful applicants will be assigned to the Bangsamoro police, which has only 400 slots available.
