HISTORICAL HIGHLIGHTS
The Philippine National Police (PNP) originated from the Philippine Constabulary
or the PC, which was inaugurated on August 8, 1901, establishing it as an insular police
force under the American regime. On August 8, 1975, Presidential Decree no. 765 was
issued, establishing the Philippine Constabulary Integrated National Police or the
PC/INP as the country’s national police force. These fragmented and diverse local
police units were integrated into a national police force with the Philippine Constabulary
as its nucleus.
After the People’s Revolution in 1986, a new Constitution was promulgated
providing for a police force, which is “national in scope and civilian in character.”
Consequently, Republic Act No. 6975 entitled, “An Act Establishing the Philippine
National Police under a Reorganized Department of the Interior and Local government
(DILG),” was signed into law on December 13, 1990, which took effect on January 1,
1991. Subsequently, the PNP was operational on January 29, 1991, whose members
were formerly the PC and the INP and the absorption of the selected members from the
major service units of the Armed Forces of the Philippines such as the Philippine Air
Force Security Command, the Philippine Coast Guard, Philippine Navy, and the
Philippine Army.
Thus, to further strengthen the PNP into a highly efficient and competent police
force, Republic Act No. 8551 entitled “PNP Reform and the Reorganization Act of 1998”
was enacted on February 17, 1998, amending certain provisions of Republic Act No.
6975.
