MANILA, Philippines — Following its ongoing sensitivity seminars on Islam and the Muslim culture for its officers and operatives, the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) said it will consider expanding the coverage of the sensitivity seminars to cover other cultures in society. ADVERTISEMENT“For the other sectors, pag-aaralan namin (we will study) [if we should conduct similar seminars],” he said in a press briefing. “Sa ngayon kasi ang pinakamalaking community na nandito sa atin na medyo hindi maganda ang understanding ay Muslim community kaya ‘yun muna ang inuna namin para magcope-up ang mga pulis natin sa challenges. According to Sinas, the regional police are planning to hold three-day cultural sensitivity seminars at least once every month, which will be conducted in the five districts of the NCRPO.
