At a Sunday gathering of alumni from the Philippine National Police Academy (PNPA), Senator Alan Peter Cayetano proposed a plan on how to increase the police salaries to President-Elect Duterte and incoming police chief Ronald dela Rosa For the first year, the salary hike would require funding of about P70 billion, with P50 billion going to the increase in salaries and the remaining P20 billion to go to the retirement fund. “For an additional P50 billion, we can give a minimum of P50,000 graduated pataas,” and “It’s very doable.” Cayetano said. At the moment, around P15,000 is what the lowest ranking police receives, per the Sen Still there are hurdles along the way. First, Sen. Cayetano would need to have the support of both houses of Congress. “We have the money,” per the determined Senator, and if approved, then the increase will be distributed during the last quarter of the year hopefully before Christmas. And of Course the Military salary was not overlooked, Cayetanoz said the calculations for the salary increase is already in the works While an increase in the salaries of all government employees is being greatly considered, Cayetano said that the current focus was on the salary increase of police personnel and the military. The P50,000 might already include basic pay and allowance, factored in for income tax. This is based on a cost of living in Metro Manila estimated to be around P30,000 said Cayetano.
