MANILA - Thousands of policemen will have to undergo an eight-week program to lose weight after they failed to meet a height-to-weight standard instituted by the National Police.

PNP spokesman Sr. Supt. Generoso Cerbo Jr. said around 3,000 policemen - half of the personnel at Camp Crame - were overweight, with body-mass indeces (BMI) beyond what the PNP considers acceptable.

The overweight policemen will undergo an eight-weekweight loss program. The program includes weekly health education lecturesthat take on such topics as caloriesand exercise, water, healthy breakfast, protein fats, metabolism,sugars and carbohydrates, dining out, and stress - and "why it is difficult to lose weight".

"It is important for policemen to be healthy. Physical fitness can beequated to good performance in our jobs. The concern of the PNP, morethan anything else, is the health of our personnel," Cerbo toldreporters.

The eight-week weight loss program comes on top of the regular exercisesconducted by PNP personnel and the periodic Physical Fitness Test(PFT) that all policemen are required to undergo. According to PNPregulations, failed PFT ratings may result in dismissal from service.

The PNP Health Service and the Directorate for Personnel and RecordsManagement (DPRM) will closely monitor the individual state and progress of the policemen over the course of their eight-week regimen.
