THE Armed Forces and the police are in need of 13,700 new recruits this year as they augment their ranks to put an end to the communist insurgency and thwart terror plots.
Armed Forces spokesman Lt. Col. Ernesto Torres said the military is recruiting 6,700 soldiers equivalent to 13 full-force battalions.
Torres said the Army gets the bulk of recruits at 3,900; the Navy, 800; and the Air Force, 600 new pilots. Armed Forces leaders have vowed to end the communist insurgency before the end of President Arroyo’s term in 2010, a goal that requires additional men and firepower.
Torres said the military also needs 1,400 technical personnel—lawyers, doctors and nurses, among others—to beef up its non-combatant personnel.

National Police Chief Jesus Verzosa said the recruitment for new policemen will be done in three batches— 3,000 for the first semester, 3,000 for the second semester and 1,000 more for the National Capital Region Police Office.
“Applicants can proceed to the nearest police station and submit documentary requirements,” police spokesman Chief Supt. Nicanor Bartolome said.
