THE HOUSE of Representatives’ Committees on National Defense and on Ways and Means have endorsed the passage of the proposal to exempt the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) personnel’s and Philippine National Police (PNP) members’ longevity pay, mandatory allowances, collateral pay and allowances and special incentive pay for medical, technical and administrative corps services from taxes.
In Committee Report (CR) No. 487 containing House Bill (HB) No. 3380, in consolidation with HB 3427, jointly submitted by the aforementioned committees last October 27, the sponsors recommended the approval of the measures of Paranaque Representative (Rep.) Roilo Golez and Manila Rep. Harry C. Angping seeking tax exemption on the benefits enjoyed by the PNP members pursuant to Republic Act (RA) No. 6975 and on certain allowances of AFP personnel.
The proponents of the measure said in their explanatory note that the proposal “will definitely promote the morale and welfare of the members of the PNP and AFP personnel and will further enhance the efficiency in the performance of their duties.”
National Defense committee chairman and North Cotabato Rep. Anthony Dequina, on the other hand, stressed that the passage of the measure “will place (the) AFP personnel at par with the PNP personnel in terms of the tax exemption benefits” presently enjoyed by the latter.
The report enumerates the mandatory allowances covered in the law as cost of living allowance and hazardous allowance while the collateral pay are specified as specialist’s pay, combat pay, flying pay, air mechanic’s pay, sea duty pay, hazardous duty pay, instructor’s pay, parachutist’s pay and hardship pay.
The House is expected to deliberate the report upon the resumption of its sessions on the second week of November after it is calendared by the Committee on Rules.
