Cops to get new uniforms?

They recently got brand-new guns and are set to get new mobiles. Now, the men and women of the Philippine National Police (PNP) want new uniforms. Officials are looking into proposals for new uniforms for the force, following strong clamor from among the rank and file.

“We are soliciting as many inputs from the professionals and different sectors of society including the media,” said PNP Public Information Office chief Reuben Theodore Sindac. Popular fashion designers, including Rene Salud and Eddie Badeo have been enlisted in the project, with proposals featured in a fashion show dubbed “Copwalk” July 4.

Sindac said the plan, if approved by the National Police Commission, will not entail additional cost and will only make use of the P14,000 clothing replacement allowance given to police officers every three years. (Text by Kim Patria)
