AN ACT
INCREASING THE QUARTERS ALLOWANCE
OF COMMISSIONED OFFICERS AND NON-COMMISSIONED
OFFICERS OF THE PHILIPPINE NATIONAL POLICE
AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES,

EXPLANATORY NOTE

We cannot overstate the fact that much is expected from the personnel of the
Philippine National Police (PNP). From the regular peace and order or traffic woes to
the more serious calamities and external threats, our police should be at the forefront
of efforts to rescue, relieve and rehabilitate the situation.

The current Quarter’s allowance being received by Philippine National Police
(PNP) personnel is listed hereunder:

COMMISSIONED OFFICERS NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICERS
Designation ‘Amount | Designation | Amount
Police Director General P1,500 | Senior Police Officer IV P500
Police Deputy Director General | 1,300 | Senior Police Officer Ill 500
Police Director 1,200 | Senior Police Officer IT 500
Police Chief Superintendent 1,050 | Senior Police Officer | 450
Police Senior Superintendent 900 | Police Officer III 450
Police Superintendent 800 | Police Officer II 400
Police Chief Inspector 700 | Police Officer | 400
Police Senior Inspector 650
Police Inspector 600

Factoring the present consumer price index and inflation will show that much
should be desired in the amount of Quarter’s allowance the PNP is receiving today.
Increasing subject allowances is the least that legislators can do to show
appreciation for their sworn duties. Such will not only help in motivating the PNP


force to perform their jobs efficiently, it will also contribute in the vision of
transforming the PNP into a highly-principled agency of the government.

In view of the foregoing, immediate passage of this bill is earnestly sought
