PNP chief denies Labador's fitness program authorization
The Philippine National Police (PNP) chief, Gen. Nicolas Torre III, has not authorized any fitness instructor to lead a physical fitness program for the entire organization, according to a memorandum released over the weekend.
A collaboration between fitness coach and vlogger Rendon Labador and the Police Community Affairs and Development Group (PCADG) was initiated for its personnel on June 19, but it did not involve the whole PNP.
Labador agreed to lead the PCADG's 93-day physical fitness program for free since his father was also a policeman and emphasized that there was no financial arrangement involved.
In a memo issued June 21 by Maj. Gen. Roderick Augustus Alba, all PNP personnel were directed to refrain from sharing misleading content regarding the fitness activity.
Brig. Gen. Jean Fajardo, PNP spokesperson, stated in a recent media interview that she has no personal knowledge of any move to tap Labador as an official fitness coach for the entire organization.
