Department of the Interior and Local Government  Secretary Benhur Abalos over the weekend urged the 803 remaining Philippine National Police  applicants who were former Moro Islamic Liberation Front and Moro National Liberation Front members to complete the nameless-faceless recruitment process of the police organization.

"There will be frustrations, disappointments, pains, and a lot of sacrifices. But at the end of this process, your sacrifices will be equated with rewards and benefits. You will be wearing a legitimate and authorized uniform of the PNP. Balewala ang tagumpay kung hindi pinaghirapan," Abalos said during his visit at Camp Pendatun in Maguindanao del Norte.

Out of the 1,279 total applicants for the second batch, 959 were able to proceed to the Body Mass Index phase which was further reduced to 851 for the Physical Agility Test  consisting of push-ups, sit-ups, and 3-kilometer run. Of the 851, only 690 were able to proceed to the next phase for the Psychological and Psychiatric Exam.
