Dear Ma'am/ Sir;
Good day! I am a Jimboy P. Dinoy,I am an applicant of the First Cycle Attrition 2022 but my height is 156.5 cm and does not meet the qualification standard set by the PNP. I would like to request for a NAPOLCOM height waiver use for PNP application. I am currently applying for Patrolman here in PRO7. Hoping and praying that you could be able to help me on how to get an height waiver.
Thank you and God bless.
