To enhance the capability of the police force to effectively fight criminality and maintain peace and order, the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) greenlighted the release of P115.6 million for additional maintenance and other operating expense (MOOE) of the Philippine National Police (PNP).
Budget and Management Secretary Florencio B. Abad said the additional funding will support the efforts of the Aquino administration, through Secretary Jesse Robredo of the Department of Interior and Local Government and the DBM, to secure sufficient operation funds for precinct-level police operations.
"The fund will be directly distributed to the provincial, district, city and municipal stations based on the number of policemen for each PNP station. With this release, the smallest units in the PNP will be more capacitated to perform their duties. This is also a more transparent mode of providing funding for the police force," he said.
He noted the National Capital Region and the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao will receive the highest budgetary augmentation of P24.82 million and P19.54 million, respectively.
