MANILA – The 64-member of the Taekwondo team of the Philippine National Police has won 45 medals – 11 Gold, 14 Silver and 20 Bronze in different categories- in the recently concluded National New Face of the Year Taekwondo Championship where it bagged the top place.
The team bested some 1,100 other “jins” to win the championship trophy, according to Senior Superintendent Roberto Fajardo, the Program Director of PNP Taekwondo, and also the head of the PNP Anti-Kidnapping Group.
“Hopefully we can produce more black belters and instructors, and provide more training to our uniformed and non-uniformed personnel. Sa pamamagitan nito, mailalapit natin ang PNP sa interest ng ating mga kababayang nasa larangan ng palakasan,”Fajardo said.
He said the Taekwondo team – composed of 48 policemen and 16 policewomen – is already planning to expand training to all police units and offices to promote camaraderie, discipline and other positive values which is considered as essential elements for effective law enforcement.
Fajardo said the PNP Taekwondo Program is supported by the Philippine Taekwondo Association that aims to promote world class combat sport training for police personnel. (Mindanao Examiner)
