What is PNP Combat Incentive Pay (CIP) and Combat Duty Pay (CDP)?
More than 227,000 strong members of the Philippine National Police (PNP), around 80% of them are risking their lives daily fighting against criminality and patrolling streets to prevent crime.
To
improve the living conditions of uniformed PNP personnel and to boost the
morale of those who engaged in combating threats or risky duties, Executive
Order No. 3 was signed by President Rodrigo Roa Duterte
on September 26, 2016, which increase the CIP/CDP.
Now,
what is Combat Incentive Pay (CIP) and Combat Duty Pay (CDP)?
CIP/CDP
is collateral allowances that are excluded from gross income and exempt from taxation
under Republic Act No. 8424 or the Tax
Reform Act of 1997. That’s why these incentives are not listed in the PNP
payslip and therefore not all are entitled to receive CIP/CDP.
Combat Incentive Pay (CIP)
refers to the Php300.00 per day allowance in addition to base pay for qualified
PNP Uniformed Personnel who figure directly or involve in ACTUAL COMBAT/POLICE
OPERATION against members of various insurgent, terrorist, and lawless elements
subject to the following conditions:
a.
The operation must be for a specific combat/police operation mission that is
duly covered by a letter of instruction (LOI)/Mission Order/Letter Order/Patrol
Order/COPLAN/IMPLAN) or similar police operation order;
b.
The personnel involved in combat/police operations must be in the published
task organization or list of participating team with accompanying after
operation report; and
c. The total additional CIP for each individual shall not exceed Php3,000.00 per
month.
