The soon to be 16th president Rodrigo Duterte guarantees to enhance the equity framework, and not depend on extrajudicial executing, to wipe out wrongdoing and defilement.

Integral to the arrangement is the expansion of compensations of policemen to P75,000 to P100,000 each inside 3 years. 

The P75,000-P100,000 ($1,600-$2,100) proposed pay is a colossal total contrasted with what cops win nowadays. 

As per the administration's remuneration plan for formally dressed work force, the most reduced rank of cop (Police Officer I) procures just P14,834 ($315) in month to month base pay. The most minimal whole guaranteed by Duterte and Cayetano, P75,000, is 5 times that sum. 

In this manner, if the arrangement will be satisfied, the most minimal positioning cop would procure more than what the head of the Philippine National Police (PNP) is winning today. 


A police executive general – the rank of the PNP boss – presently procures just P67,500 ($1,400) a month.

The current Davao City Mayor likewise pledged to give extra pay to state funded teachers, hitting the proposed Salary Standardization Law (SSL 2015) in giving small totals for the nation's administration specialists.
