00:00Newly minted Interior Secretary John V. Remulia recommends to President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr.
00:06the number of police generals be trimmed down from 133 to 25.
00:11Remulia says the PNP is top-heavy and in need of streamlining to flatten the administration.
00:16There are a lot of generals now without commands.
00:19Under Remulia's proposed policy, those affected will be encouraged to take early retirement by next year.
00:24When asked if the move might demoralize personnel, Remulia said,
00:27They are all soldiers. They follow orders.
00:30Remulia points to the civil service rules requiring promotion every three years as contributing to the top-heavy structure.
00:35To address this, he proposes extending the promotion timeline to five years to slow down career progression in the PNP.
