The Philippine National Police (PNP) is hiring 279 police officers for the Police Regional Office-Negros Island Region (PRO-NIR) this year during the recruitment process set to start this month.
Patrolman and patrolwoman aspirants can apply for the 111 slots under the regular quota and the 168 slots allocated for the attrition quota.
Col. Jacob Crisostomo, chief of the Regional Recruitment and Selection Unit (RSSU)-NIR, said on Tuesday that the 2026 quota is lower compared to the 420 slots opened in 2025.
“Recruitment starts early this year. Next week, we will start the information drive as the quota has already been approved. We will start in March, and the tentative schedule of oath-taking is between July and the first week of August,” Crisostomo said over the Bacolod City Police Office (BCPO) “Kadampig Mo” radio program.
A patrolman or patrolman has a monthly base pay of PHP31,151.
The RSSU is tasked with implementing the policies and guidelines governing the PNP recruitment and selection processes in a particular region.
“Our primary purpose is to make the recruitment process transparent so we can hire competent, morally upright members of the PNP,” Crisostomo said.
For aspirants under the PRO-NIR, application folders must be submitted to the RSSU office at the BCPO compound in this city.*PNA
