I. Introduction
Last October 1, the Phinma Araullo University, College of Criminal Justice Education, Future
Law Enforcers Organization held a webinar entitled “BJMP and BFP Application Process”. This
webinar aimed to give knowledge about the new application process on the two said bureau.
JInsp. Aaron Kevin S. Arevallo, Warden, from Paniqui Municipal Jail, Paniqui Tarlac.
Tackled the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology Application Process. According to JInsp.
Arevallo the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) or Jail Bureau was created pursuant to
section 60 to 65, Chapter V of the R.A. No. 6975 (DILG Act of 1990), and implemented on January
1991. BJMP is mandated to direct, supervised and control the administration and operation of all
district, city, and municipal jails nationwide with prolonged task of safe keeping and development of
person deprived of liberty.
Insp. Julius R. Mangrubang, Acting Municipal Fire Marshall, Sta. Rosa Fire Station, Sta.
Rosa, Nueva Ecija. According to Insp. Mangrubang, Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) is created by
virtue of R.A. 6975 for four (4) functions. To prevent and suppress fire. To enforce the Fire Code
R.A. 9514. To investigate all causes of fires. To assist the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP).
The two said guest speakers emphasized the new process of application on the two bureaus.
As a criminology student it is important to us to have an idea about the application process on BFP
and BJMP. It helps us to prepare for our job in the near future.
II. Summary of Learning

For me, as a criminology student who is dreaming to be one of the law enforcers in the near
future, it is important to us attend this kind of webinar. It gives us the idea on what we might face
after getting our degree and passing the board exam.
During the webinar while the speakers are discussing the new application process I realized
that there are lots of requirements that will be needed to comply when applying on both bureaus.
