AN ACT
ESTABLISHING A CAMP DEVELOPMENT FUND FOR THE PHILIPPINE NATIONAL 
POLICE, APPROPRIATING THE SUM OF FIVE BILLION PESOS ANNUALLY FOR 
FIVE YEARS, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES
EXPLANATORY NOTE
The Philippine National Police [PNP] is the chief agency for law enforcement 
of the country and their camps are essential to them to house their headquarters, PNP 
Units, important offices, and lodging to their personnel. Enhancing the capability of 
the police and other law enforcers to address the internal security threats posed by 
local and transnational terrorists and criminal groups, and new and emerging 
security threats, is crucial in ensuring peace and security. Sometimes, even members 
of organized crime syndicates have better firearms and equipment than our law 
enforcers.
Members of Congress observed that the PNP and the Armed Forces of the 
Philippines (AFP) have always scrambled to look for funding specifically for making 
improvements on their respective camps or headquarters, often seeking support 
from other agencies or local government units. This is the reason why in the 2020 
General Appropriations Act (GAA), Congress allocated the amount of One Billion 
Pesos (Php 1,000,000,000.00) each to the respective Camp Development Funds of the 
PNP and AFP.
Aside from providing our uniformed personnel with better facilities to boost 
their productivity and output performance, investing in infrastructure produces a 
multiplier effect in terms of generating employment, increasing foreign exchange 
earnings, and stimulating the local economy, all of which help to alleviate poverty.
This bill is envisioned to provide a five year program to modernize, develop, 
and upgrade police camps. By ensuring that the PNP has sufficient funding for its 
programs, including the development of camps and headquarters, we help the police 
force perform and realize their mandate.
For said reasons, the immediate passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
