00:15 PNP Chief Police General Romel Francisco Marfil ordered the Directorate for Personnel for Records Management

00:21 to review Memorandum Circular 2024-023 that orders uniformed and non-uniformed personnel to remove their tattoos.

00:34 Marfil wanted to review the police's duty before it is implemented.
