A lawmaker said on Wednesday that the country’s policemen shall be given allowances instead of raising to P50,000 the rookie cops’ monthly pay as the government has begun carrying out a four-year salary increase for government officials.
Reelected Camarines Sur Rep. Rolando Andaya Jr. said that would be in keeping with the executive order signed by President Benigno Aquino III after congressmen suffered a deadlock on the Salary Standardization Law of 2015.

Andaya said one option was to increase the cops’ and soldiers’ take home pay in the form of allowances.
