Height Requirement

Just recently, Senator Ronald "Bato" dela Rosa, former Chief of National Police, proposed to decrease the height requirement for uniformed personnel. It's still in the Senate approval and is yet to be effective.

So if you're interested with the fact that the PNPA is looking for scholars, then you need to meet the height requirement which is at least 162.5cm for male applicants, and at least 157.5cm for female applicants.

Weight Requirement

As for the weight requirement, the PNPA sets it straight that the weight of the applicant must be proportionate with their height, gender, and age in accordance to the Body Mass Index (BMI) scale.
