Explanatory Note

Currently, the Quarter’s allowance of the Philippine National Police (PNP) is as follows:

COMMISSIONED OFFICERS NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICERS

Designation Amount Designation Amount
Police Director General P 1,500 | Senior Police Officer IV P 500
Police Deputy Director General 1,300 | Senior Police Officer III 500
Police Director 1,200 | Senior Police Officer II 500
Police Chief Superintendent “1,050 | Senior Police Officer | 450

Police Superintendent 800 | Police Officer II 400 |
Police Chief Inspector | 700 | Police Officer I 400
Police Senior Inspector 650
Police Inspector - 600 |

Clearly, the current rate that the PNP is receiving is not enough given the current house rental fees.
‘The abovementioned amount is not sufficient to afford our police and their families decent homes for

them to stay in

This bill seeks to increase the quarter's allowance of the PNP. It is a small token that we could give
them considering the task that they are given. The author hopes that the said increase would motivate
our police further in fulfilling their mandates,

‘This measure was filed by the Magdalo Party-List in the 16th Congress and was subsequently

referred to the Committee on

Public Order and Safety.

In view of the foregoing, immediate approval of this measure is earnestly sought.
