House BillNo. _1212

HON. MANUEL DG. CABOCHAN II

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Currently, the Quarters allowance of the Philippine National Police (PNP) is as follows:

COMMISSIONED OFFICERS NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICERS
Designation ‘Amount Designation ‘Amount

Police General P 1,500 | Police Executive Master P 500
Sergeant

Police Lieutenant General 1,300 | Police Chief Master 500
Sergeant

Police Major General 1,200 | Police Senior Master ~ 500
Sergeant

Police Brigadier General 1,050 | Senior Master Sergeant 450.

Police Colonel 900 | Police Staff Sergeant 450

Police Lieutenant Colonel 800 | Police Corporal 400

Police Major 750 _| Patrolman/Patrolwoman 400

Police Captain 650

Police Lieutenant 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 quarters allowance of the PNP. It is a small token that we
would give them considering the task that they are given. The author hoped that the said
increase would motivate our police further in fulfilling their mandates.

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