A.) Base Pay

It is the fixed amount received by the uniformed PNP personnel on a monthly basis. Effective January 1, 2018, J.R. No. 1 provides for the implementation of the fourth tranche of the modified salary schedule which covers the “uniformed personnel under the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG)”―the department to which the National Police Commission (NAPOLCOM) belongs which is responsible for the administration and control of the Philippine National Police (PNP). As a result of the implementation of the fourth tranche of the modified salary schedule, the following are the base pay of all PNP uniformed personnel (Ref: Joint Resolution No. 1 Modified Base Pay Schedule)

UPDATE!!!

Proposed Monthly Contribution (Deduction) under the Military and Uniformed Personnel (MUP) Pension System

According to Former Department of Finance (DOF) Sec. Benjamin Diokno, their contributions will initially be small and progressively increase over time: 5% of their salary in the first three years, 7% in the next three years, and then 9% in subsequent years.

Current Finance Secretary Ralph Recto said that he expressed support for reforming the military and uniformed personnel’s (MUP) pension system.

What we can do for the reform is that all new entrants, for example, January 1, 2025, will have a different pension system similar to what civilians have that they will contribute now to, let’s say, the GSIS (Government Service Insurance System). That there will be a contribution system moving forward,” Recto added.

To illustrate the computation above, 5% will be deducted from the patrolman’s basic salary and another 5% from his longevity pay (long pay). However, with the 5% deduction of long pay, you have to add the base pay to get the ₱1,631.74 as shown above.

5% Base Pay

5% of Patrolman’s Base Pay is ₱1,483.40

5% from Long Pay

(Base Pay + Long Pay)

₱29,668 + ₱2,966.80 = ₱32,634.80

5% of ₱32,634.80 is ₱1,631.74

Add them together (₱1,483.40 + ₱1,631.74), and a total of ₱3,115.14 will be deducted monthly from the patrolman’s payslip as part of the proposed pension scheme, which is possible this year or next year.

B.) Longevity Pay.

Uniformed personnel of the department shall be entitled to a longevity pay of ten percent (10%) of their basic monthly salaries for every five (5) years of service, which shall be reckoned from the date of the personnel’s original appointment in the AFP or appointment in the police, fire, or jail or other allied services to the integration of the PC and the INP, provided that the totality of such longevity pay shall not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the basic pay (Ref: Section 71, Chapter VII, Republic Act 6975).
