II. PURPOSE:
This Letter of Instruction 2007-01 defines the creation of TF BANTAY
BIHIS that shall be employed during the intensified implementation of LOI 2005
TAMANG BIHIS, the campaign against the Illegal Manufacture, Distribution, Sale
and illegal use of PNP Uniforms, Insignias and other Accoutrements including the
materials for their production. This campaign is expected to minimize if not totally
eradicate unauthorized or sub-standard uniform, equipment and accoutrements
that are available in the market. The operational activity of Task Force BANTAY
BIHIS shall be strengthened by the provisions of EO 297 and other related laws
such as RA 3815 and Art 179 of the Revised Penal Code; while its administrative
aspect shall be guided by the existing provisions of the PNP Rules and
Regulations.
III. SITUATION:
Efforts of the PNP to curb and regulate the unauthorized manufacture,
distribution, sale and use of PNP uniforms, insignias and other accoutrements
have not been successful. People engaged in this kind of business sprouted in the
market with no concern on approved specifications and standard materials in their
production, selling and distribution of PNP uniforms and accoutrements.
The unauthorized and sub-standard productions of PNP uniforms, insignias
and other accoutrements and use of non-specs materials for their productions in
the market may result to destructive criticisms on the image-building of the PNP.
The non-uniformity and non-conformity of textiles colors, designs and materials
use in the production of PNP uniforms and use of sub-standard materials of metals
on insignias and other accoutrements will stain the image of the PNP personnel in
uniform and shall bring shame on the credibility of the whole PNP in general.
On serious instances, lawless individuals take advantage in purchasing
PNP uniforms, insignias and other accoutrements from authorized and
unauthorized manufacturers, dealers and sellers for their own illegal intentions.
Consequently, it is an embarrassment for the image-building of the PNP to see the
organization in adverse situation. Hence, the formation and activation of TASK
FORCE BANTAY BIHIS is necessary, to administer the screening, inspection
and investigation of the manufacturers, distributors, sellers and retailers of
PNP uniforms, equipment and insignias for the accomplishment of LOI
TAMANG BIHIS.
IV. MISSION:
The PNP through its TASK FORCE BANTAY BIHIS shall administer the
implementation of LOI 2005 TAMANG BIHIS and other related laws, insure
proper wearing of standard uniforms by PNP personnel and stop the manufacture
and sale of unauthorized or sub-standard PNP uniforms and accessories.
V. OBJECTIVES:

officers and personnel from the different offices of the PNP, shall have the following
