Crime fighters need some perks, too.
“On Friday, Jan 17, in the ceremony to mark the 113th founding year of the Manila Polce District at its headquarters on UN Avenue, Mayor Joseph ‘Erap’ Estrada announced that the monthly allowance of Manila policemen would be increased starting this month,” reports Macon Ramos-Araneta in Manila Standard Today.
According to the report, from last year’s PHP1,000 a month, a policeman will now be receiving PHP2,500 each month.
In his speech, Estrada told policemen, “I hope that you will help me revive the vigor, peace and order and development in Manila.”
