2017 budget funds increase in combat duty and incentive pay of cops, soldiers

MANILA, Jan. 11 (PNA) -- Senator Loren Legarda on Wednesday said that uniformed personnel of the Philippine National Police (PNP) and Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) will continue to receive their increased combat duty and incentive pay under the 2017 national budget.

Legarda, Chair of the Senate Committee on Finance, said that Php 12.1 billion had been allocated under the Miscellaneous Personnel Benefits Fund for the said purpose.

“We know very well that our soldiers and policemen deserve to receive remuneration commensurate to their enormous and dangerous task,” Legarda said.

She added that, “We cannot overemphasize the value of the arduous mission they have to undertake in order to protect the people and the State from lawless violence, invasion, rebellion, terrorist acts and other activities that might affect public safety and bring harm to the independence of our nation.”

Only last year, qualified members of the AFP were still receiving Combat Duty Pay worth Php 500 per month and Combat Incentive Pay worth Php 150 per day of actual combat but not exceeding Php 1,500 per Operations Order or Fragmentary Order.

Meanwhile, qualified members of the PNP used to receive a maximum of Php 340 per month as Combat Duty Pay.

President Rodrigo Roa Duterte’s Executive Order No. 3 issued in September 2016 mandates that the Combat Duty Pay of qualified members of AFP and PNP will be fixed at Php 3,000 per month; while Combat Incentive Pay will increase to Php 300 per day but not exceeding Php 3,000 per month. (PNA)

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
