Mayor Greg Gasataya announced that over 1,000 personnel of the Bacolod City Police Office (BCPO) will each receive a ₱2,000 monthly allowance.
The benefit forms part of the city government’s ongoing commitment to recognize and support all uniformed personnel in the area, including members of the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) and the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP), a press release from the Bacolod City Communications Office said Thursday, Jan. 8.
“You all carry the weight of our safety, for which we are deeply thankful,” the mayor said.
The new allowance takes effect this year and applies to all eligible uniformed personnel across the three agencies.
It comes on top of the city government’s annual ₱20.5 million allocation to fund BCPO’s peace and order programs and initiatives.
Part of this financial assistance also goes towards improving police mobility, supporting anti-criminality operations, and strengthening crime-solving efforts in Bacolod, the BCCO said.
Bacolod Police Director. Col. Joeresty Coronica, said “This is a big boost that could raise the morale and welfare of our policemen.”*
