From GMA News (Jan 2): Diokno: Cops, soldiers to receive pay hike this year
President Rodrigo Duterte has fulfilled his promise to increase the salary of cops and soldiers.
On Monday, Budget Secretary Benjamin Diokno confirmed the inclusion of the hike in the 2017 national budget.
"The answer is yes," Diokno replied when asked about the increase of both base pay and allowance of soldiers and policemen.
But Diokno did not disclose any more details as he would announce the figures during a press conference in Malacañang on Tuesday.
In his Budget Action Message, Duterte said that the military, the police, and other uniformed personnel will receive rice subsidy in 2017. But this is put under conditional implementation.
In his many camp visits, Duterte promised the police and the soldiers that he will double their salary by yearend.
In his yearend video report, Presidential Communications Secretary Martin Andanar said Duterte kept his word to the Philippine National Police and the Armed Forces of the Philippines.
"Kumikilos sa salita at gawa, tinupad ng Pangulo ang pangakong dagdag sahod sa mga sundalo at pulis," he said.
