Police Deputy Director General Ager P Ontog Jr, Deputy Chief PNP for Operation/ Commander National Task Force SAFE 2013 gives out guidance regarding the deployment of PNP personnel in the field especially in areas vulnerable to attacks of lawless elements in response to the call for Secure and Fair Election (SAFE 2013).
MANILA (Mabuhay) – The Philippine National Police has completed the release of some Php 750-million representing the Performance Enhancement Incentive (PEI) of its 150,000 personnel.
In his report to PNP Officer-in-Charge, Police Deputy Director General Leonardo A Espina, Police Director Rolando Puruganan, PNP Director for Comptrollership, said the individual PEI of P5,000.00 was credited to the individual ATM accounts of PNP personnel and was incorporated in the salary and allowances for the period December 15-30, 2014 received before Christmas.
Puruganan also told Espina that the Performance Based Bonus (PBB) of PNP personnel will be released on January 6, 2015 thru the individual ATM payroll accounts.
Some personnel who are not yet enrolled in the ATM payroll system will receive their PBB in the form of Continuous Form Checks (CFC) drawn from the PNP account with the Land Bank of the Philippines.
The Department of Budget and Management (DBM) earlier released funds totaling Php 1.3-billion to pay for the 2013 PBB of the PNP.
However, Puruganan explained, the release of the individual PBB was delayed due to the series of bank holidays during the closing months of the year, and the tedious process of evaluation and review to ensure that the right amount goes to the right person as determined by the Individual Performance Rating ( IPER) of every PNP member.
In November, the PNP Directorate for Comptrollership released Php1.8-billion funds to pay for the yearend bonus of PNP personnel through the PNP Finance Service and subsequently credited to the individual ATM payroll accounts of active-duty PNP uniformed and non-uniformed personnel.
The year-end bonus represents 50 percent of the 13th month pay and other cash benefits mandated by law for all government workers. (MNS)
