Clearly, the current rate that the PNP is receiving is not enough given the CWTent 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. 
In view of the foregoing, immediate approval of this measure is earnestly sought.
