EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This bill seeks to establlsh the allowances and hazard pay for the reserve officers 
called into active duty by the Armed Forces o f the Philippines (AFP). 
Republic Act 7077, also known as the Citizen Armed Forces of the Philippines 
Reservist Act, was passed into law in 1991. It became the policy of the State to maintain 
a standing or regular military force in tirnes of peace cons<mant to its adequate and 
actual needs for the security of the State but w hich can be rapidly expanded by well· 
disciplined Citizen Forces in the event of wa;r, invasion or rebellion. 
Through this Act, the service of civilians as reservists of the Armed Forces of the 
Pl1ilippines was legally recognized. Such reservists have been called to active duty in 
times of national emergency and war, and have risked their lives for the benefit of their 
fellow Filipinos. 
It is paramount that the State must give credence to their efforts by providing 
them with the necessary allowances and hazard pay befitting of these gallant volunteer 
protectors of the land. 
Accordingly, the swift pas~ •e of this bill is earnestly sought.
