Iginiit ni Senator Antonio Trillanes IV, principal author ng resolusyon, na pagkakalooban ng “modest increase” ang kasalukuyang subsistence allowance ng mga unipormadong kawani upang maitaas ang kanilang moral at bilang pagkilala sa kanilang mga sakripisyo para sa bansa.
Sa ilalim ng resolusyon, ang daily subsistence allowance sa lahat ng unipormadong kawani ay itataas sa P150 mula sa P90 at ito ay magiging epektibo sa Enero 2015.
“Particularly, those covered are the officers, enlisted personnel candidate soldiers, probationary second lieutenants, and civilian active auxiliaries of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) ; the commissioned and non-commissioned personnel of the Philippine National Police (PNP), Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), and Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP); the cadets of the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) and the Philippine National Police Academy (PNPA); and the Philippines Coast Guard (PCG),’’ pahayag ni Trillanes.
