MEANING AND HISTORY

HISTORY OF PNP LOGO (1901 – 1975)

▪ The composition symbolizes valor, courage, trustworthiness, protection,

and nobility.
▪ This is what characterizes this law enforcement agency directly. In
addition, due to the combination of the presented elements, the icon is
quite recognizable. The expressive coloring also contributes to this. The
logo uses blue (demonstrating trust), yellow (denoting energy), red
(symbolizing courage), white (reflecting responsibility), and green (the
color of calm and comfort).
 HISTORY OF PNP LOGO (1975 – 1991)

▪ In 1975, the law enforcement agency changed its logo. The concept is
similar to the state flag of the Philippines.
▪ In the center of the emblem was placed a symbol resembling the sun
with the image of a knight inside. This element also has similarities with
the elements of state symbols, and the figure of a warrior was a direct
reference to the organization’s activities. Under the stylized sun on the
emblem was placed a ribbon with the inscription INP. The color scheme
was dominated by red, blue, white, and gold hues, which are also present
on the flag of the Philippines.
 HISTORY OF PNP LOGO (1991 – PRESENT)

▪ In 1991, the visual concept of PNP was formed, which is still used today. This is a
modern detailed logo created according to the traditional scheme for this institution.
▪ Its eight rays symbolize the eight provinces that rebelled against Spanish rule. A
similar sign is placed on the flag of the country. Another element of the state symbols
is located at the top of the logo – these are three bright stars. Immediately below them,
you can see directly the name of the Philippine National Police, made in simple roman
type. In addition, the verbal part includes the inscription Service Honor Justice, placed
on a stylized white ribbon.
▪ It stands for the main motto of the Philippine National Police – service, honor, and
justice. In the sun’s center is an image of a key figure – the legendary ruler Lapu-Lapu.
 PHILIPPINE NATIONAL POLICE (PNP)
Originating from a merging of the
Philippine Constabulary and the Integrated
National Police, the Philippine National
Police (PNP) is the civilian national police
force of the Philippines. The following brief
history of the PNP and the organizational
structure that it holds today.
HISTORY OF PNP
 HISTORY OF PNP
▪ The Philippine National Police (PNP) originated from the
Philippine Constabulary (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.
 HISTORY OF PNP
▪ 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.
 HISTORY OF PNP
▪ 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.
