![]() ![]() Vested right as defined in case of Luque vs. The declaration has VESTED these applicants the RIGHT like other applicants who passed the test. Now, is the aforesaid provision of the procedural guidelines applicable in the instance of these 67? Certainly and absolutely, NOT!ĭespite the non-compliance to the six-month rule, the 67 applicants have acquired the eligibility to proceed with the application process upon the declaration of the Regional Health Service that they PASSED the neuro-psychiatric test. ![]() In barely three months, they have "recovered".

The provision, according to the Directorate for Personnel and Resource Management (TDPRM) of the PNP, is "in furtherance to the specific objective of the PNP that the appointment to Police (or Patrol) Officer 1 (PO1) position shall be based on the principle of Merit and Fitness. The reason was that they passed the neuro-psychiatric test before the lapse of six months after they first took it sometime in July 2007 but failed. These 67 hopefuls were recently barred from proceeding in the application process despite the PASSED evaluation in the neuro-psychiatric test conducted by the Regional Health Service 6, Camp Delgado, Iloilo City last October 13. ![]()
