THE OLD AND NEW

RANKING SYSTEM IN
THE PHILLPINES
-As of February 8, 2019, a new ranking classification for the
Philippine National Police was adopted, eliminating the
confusion of old ranks. The enabling law for the ranking is
Republic Act 11200 which was signed by President
Rodrigo Duterte, amending Section 28 of the Department
of the Interior and Local Government Act of 1990 that
refers to the ranking classification of the Philippine
National Police.

-However, the usage of this classification internally by

the PNP was put on hold in March 2019 during the
creation of rules and regulations (IRR) of the rank
classification, which determined how each rank would be
officially abbreviated. The new rank abbreviations and the
IRR of the new rank system officially took effect on March
25, 2019
Full set of ranks
Per the current (2019) rank system, the National
Police has no rank holders of Second
Lieutenant, Technical Sergeant, Sergeant and
Patrolman First Class.
