Aplikasyon para sa PNPA Cadet Admission Test, hanggang mamaya na lang

Hanggang ngayong gabi na lang ang paghahain ng aplikasyon para sa Philippine National Police Academy Cadet Admission Test ---doon na mismo sa Camp General Mariano Castaneda, Silang, Cavite.

"Open po kami bukas (Biernes), hanggang alas siyete (ng gabi)...mag-antay kami ng mga aplikante para makatulong po tayo,"paliwanag ni Romulo Banta, ang Registrar ng PNPA nitong Huwebes.

Ang ika-30 ng Setyembre ang  huling Biernes ng Setyembre na siyang taunang palugit ng pagsusumite ng aplikasyon para sa PNPA Admission Test.

Ito ang una sa dalawang bahagdang pagpasok sa Cadetship Program ng PNPA.

Kung tutuusin, pwedeng magsumite ng aplikasyon alinman araw maliban sa huling Biernes ng Setyembre.

"Ang kailangan lang namin dito ay yung birth certificate (ng aplikante) from NSO (ang dating
National Statistics Office na ngayoý kilala bilang  PSA o Philippine Statistics Authority)...photocopy lang,"sabi ni G. Banta, " (kasama ang) litrato (isang passport size photograph) na may name tag tapos pwede nang mag-fill up dito (sa Camp  Castaneda mismo).

Dapat walang suot na salamin, sombrero o pantakip sa ulo ang aplikante sa passport size photo na may puting background .

Iginiit ni G. Banta na wala babayarang fee ang aplikante.

Tandaan lang: kapag sinagutan ang aplikasyon dapat iwasan ang mga sumusunod para iwas diskwalipikasyon: (1) mga bura o pagpatong-patong na sagot sa mga patlang; (2) wala o kulang ang address ng tirahan; (3) walang lagda o walang isinulat na araw ng kapanganakan; (4) Inedit na larawan na magpapabago sa itsura ng mukha ng aplikante o walang passport size photo na nakabit sa aplikasyon; at (5) iba pang pagkakamali na mapapansin ng registrar.

Sa ngayon, may 17,000 aplikasyon na ang kwalipikado nang kumuha ng entrance exam.
Ang mga kwalipikado ay yung mga makakatanggap ng notisya mula PNPA sa kanilang mga e-mail address.

Ayon kay G. Banta, umabot na sa halos 20,000 ang bilang ng aplikasyon na kanilang natatangap.

Nalungkot lang si G. Banta dahil may mga lalawigan na na napakanipis ng mga aplikasyon tulad ng Palawan na may 50 aplikasyon pa lang.

Ang mga papasang aplikante (sa admission test at sa ikalawang bahagdan ng aplikasyon) sa pagka-kadete ng PNPA ay magiging  iskolar sa loob ng apat na taon para sa kursong Bachelor of Science in Public Safety.

Silaý tatanggap ng buwanang sahod at allowances na aabot ng Php 29,000 bukod pa sa iba pang bonus at iba pang insentibo.

Ang PNPA sa Camp Castaneda ay matatawagan sa numerong (02) 925-5071, 0905-2525061 at 0908-2931-213.  (LP)

Application for PNPA Entrance Exams ends today

People aspiring for a career at the Philippine National Police have until tonight (September 30) to submit their applications for the PNP Academy Cadetship program entrance exams (admission test) at Camp General Mariano Castaneda, Silang, Cavite.

PNPA Registrar Romulo Banta said their office will be open up to 7 pm to accomodate late filers.

The Admission test is the first phase of application to the cadetship program.

Applications for the Admission Tests  can actually be submitted anytime within the year except on the last Friday of September, the annual deadline.

The test itself is administered every October.

Banta suggested that late filers bring  photocopies of their birth certificates and passport size photographs with name tags (or plates) and complete the application forms at the Registrar's office.

The photo to be submitted must be shot in white background with the applicant wearing neither glasses nor headgear.

Applicants must remember the following reminders when filling up their forms to avoid disqualification: (1) erasures or superimpositions; (2) no addresses and no birthdates (3);  (4) digital photo editing that alters the features of the applicants; and (5) other error the Registrar may notice.
Current, out of the near 20, 000 applications, about 17,000 have been qualified to take the exams.

Qualified applicants will be notified through their e-mail addresses.

Some provinces, Banta observed, have very few applications such as Palawan with only 50 submissions.

Applicants who will pass as cadets (qualified in first and second phases of application) will be granted 4-year residential scholarships for Bachelor of Science in Public Safety.

Cadets will receive monthly pay and allowances amounting to 29,000 pesos excluding bonuses and other incentives.

PNPA-Registrar's Office will entertain inquiries at nos. (02) 925-5071, 0905-2525061 and 0908-2931-213.  (LP)

Press Release from PPI: VP Leni at the 1st Communication Research International Conference at UP-CMC

UP College of Mass Communication – Department of Communication Research hosts two-day international forum on communication and media in the ASEAN context, VP to give keynote.
The Department of Communication Research of the University of the Philippines College of Mass Communication (CMC) will host the First Communication Research International Conference (CRIC) on September 22-23, 2016 at the UP Film Center in Diliman, Quezon City.
Vice President Leni Robredo will give her keynote addresss at the two-day conference with the theme “VOICES AND NOISES: Communication and Integration within and across ASEAN Communities."
The two-day conference aims to discuss and exchange ideas on information issues and set directions to promote understanding of the ASEAN integration, create greater public awareness of the objectives, benefits, and challenges of the ASEAN integration and develop a regional platform for open discussion and information sharing.
Dr. Elena E.

The conference also aims to establish the CRIC as a global network of scholars and professionals in various fields of communication and media, Pernia said.
In 2015, the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) was formed to harmonize the economies of its member-states to bring about the "free movement of goods, services, investment, skilled labor, and freer flow of capital". The two-day conference aims to bring together ideas that would not only transform the economic landscape of Southeast Asia but will also tackle the significant social, cultural, and political implications.
Expected to be presented during the conference are 36 papers dealing with the issues of communication and migration, communication in social and development Issues (gender, health, religion, etc.), disaster and risk communication, climate change and renewable energy, and peace and conflict communication, among others.
Among the conference speakers are noted experts in communication and media such as Dr. Richard Seyler Ling, a Shaw Foundation Professor in Media Technology of the Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information at the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. Dr. Ling is the most-widely cited scholar in the field of mobile communication studies.
Also invited to speak is Dr. Sun Sun Lim, an Associate Professor and the Assistant Dean of Research of the Communication and New Media Program at the National University of Singapore. Dr. Lim studies the social implications of technology domestication by young people and families and her recent work focused on understudied and marginalized populations such as young children, youths-at-risk, and migrants. �

David, who conducted a study on the use of social media in government will share her insights, as well as Dr. Chalisa Magpanthong, an Assistant Professor at the Bangkok University in Thailand who is a noted scholar in the field of cross-border migration and terrorism.
