The National Police Commission (NAPOLCOM) approved the increase of the collateral pay and other allowances over and above the basic pay and longevity pay of the uniformed members of the Philippine National Police (PNP).
This was announced by NAPOLCOM Vice-Chairman and Executive Officer Atty. Rogelio T.

- Special Clothing Allowance (for those detailed to special duties as aides-de-camp, escorts and honor guards, PNP Band members and Base Police);

- Cold Weather Allowance (for those assigned to cold places where cold weather clothing is necessary);
- Winter Clothing Allowance (for those on schooling and training abroad);

Casurao said.
