READ | PRESS RELEASE: NAPOLCOM Approves Regular and Collateral Allowances for PNP Personnel
The National Police Commission (NAPOLCOM) approved the updated regular and collateral allowances for the uniformed members of the Philippine National Police (PNP) to ensure that police personnel are adequately supported in the performance of their duties.
The NAPOLCOM En Banc issued Memorandum Circular No. 2025-004, dated August 18, 2025, which provides for a comprehensive structure of allowances covering subsistence, quarters, clothing, hazard pay, combat duty and incentive pay, sea and flying duty allowances, hardship allowances, and other operational benefits.
NAPOLCOM Vice Chairperson and Executive Officer (VCEO) Commissioner Rafael Vicente R. Calinisan emphasized that the measure reflects the Commission’s commitment to support and uplift the welfare of police officers who perform vital and often dangerous duties in service to the Filipino people.
“Our policemen and policewomen are at the frontline of peace and order. By ensuring that their allowances are responsive to today’s economic realities and operational demands, we are not only recognizing their sacrifices but also strengthening their morale and commitment to serve. This is a concrete step towards professionalizing the PNP and showing our personnel that their government stands with them,” VCEO Calinisan said.
The new policy rationalizes compensation by prescribing regular allowances, such as quarters, subsistence, clothing, and hazard pay, in addition to collateral pay and special incentives for those engaged in high-risk or specialized assignments.
It grants special combat duty pay amounting to ₱3,000 per month for personnel involved in actual police operations, as well as combat incentive pay of ₱300 per day for those involved in actual combat operations against various insurgents, terrorists, and lawless elements.
Personnel assigned to high-risk tasks are entitled to a hazardous duty pay equivalent to 50% of their base salary, and those exposed to radioactive elements are granted an additional 15%. For specialized operations, a sea duty pay of 25% and a flying pay of 50% of the base pay are provided to personnel engaged in maritime and air missions, respectively.
Furthermore, hardship allowances ranging from 10% to 25% of base pay are granted to personnel assigned to isolated and difficult areas, ensuring fair recognition of the challenges faced by officers in the field.
The implementation of the revised allowance structure shall be subject to the availability of funds, as certified by the Department of Budget and Management (DBM).
