Ensuring gender equality in the PNP: Sen. Francis Tolentino expresses his support to Senate Bill No. (SBN) 1562 which seeks to increase the recruitment quota for women in the Philippine National Police. “There is really a need not just to open the doors for women but to ensure that once the doors are opened, there would be equality and non-discriminatory practices within the organization, to ensure that women police officers would be able to maximize their full potential as police officers,” Tolentino said during the period of interpellation on the bill Monday, August 3, 2020.
