The Philippine National Police (PNP) on Friday launched the body-worn camera (BWC) system, bodycam for short, that will serve as the 'Filipinos' eyes and ears' in police operations, said PNP chief Gen. Guillermo Eleazar.

'Today, the Filipino people will finally have the eyes and ears in law enforcement and in the implementation of peace and order in the country,' Eleazar said during the launch at Camp Crame in Quezon City on Friday.
