Bacolod: The Bacolod City Police Office (BCPO) has resumed its 'Pulisteniks' physical conditioning activities this week, engaging 1,088 personnel in a program designed to promote holistic wellness.

According to Philippines News Agency, Capt. Ma. Liberty Indiape, public information officer of BCPO, mentioned in an interview that they have enlisted a fitness instructor to lead exercise sessions every Tuesday and Thursday at 3 p.m. These sessions take place at the BCPO covered gym, though individual police stations are encouraged to conduct their own activities as well.
