PNP chief Sinas says he lost weight: ‘Bawas muna mag-inom, tapos sleep well’

Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Police General Debold Sinas on Thursday said he had lost weight by 20 kilos.

In a television interview, Sinas said he lost weight by observing a strict diet and proper exercise. He also consulted a physician in order to lose weight.

"That's almost four months program. 'Di ba nag-umpisa ako, I consulted the doctor. I have my medical checkup, ginuide po ako kung papaano po... strict diet, healthy living, bawas muna ang mag-inom, tapos sleep well..." Sinas told ANC.

In November, Sinas directed the resumption of monitoring the cops’ body mass index (BMI) in a bid to combat obesity and possible comorbidities.

The program was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

"Obesity causes diabetes, heart disease which are comorbidities for COVID-19… Puwedeng mataba, huwag lang masyado kasi alam niyo, for the last nine months because of the pandemic, parang konti na lang nag-e-exercise at gumagalaw," Sinas said back then.

Earlier this year, over 30 policemen failed the fitness and BMI tests in Camp Crame. — RSJ, GMA News
