Executive Order No. 1017, dated March 22, 1985.
To increase the combat pay of officers and enlisted personnel of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) performing combat duty, and to increase the hazardous duty pay of uniformed members of the Integrated National Police (INP) performing hazardous duty.
Both were stated as P120.00 per month—AFP combat pay was P120.00 monthly, and INP hazardous duty pay authorized under PD 1527 was also P120.00 monthly.
Officers, enlisted personnel, draftees, and extended trainees of the Armed Forces of the Philippines performing combat duty.
Officers and men of the Integrated National Police (uniformed members) performing hazardous duty.
P240.00 per month.
The prior rates (P120.00) were no longer adequate due to the general increase in prices of commodities, making them unrealistic to provide the intended incentives for perils in performance of tasks.
It increases the existing forms of incentive pay (combat pay and hazardous duty pay) rather than creating a completely new benefit; it changes the rate from P120.00 to P240.00.
To issue implementing instructions necessary and proper to carry out the intent of the Order.
The funds needed shall be charged against the respective Annual Appropriations of the AFP and INP.
On April 1, 1985.
It indicates PD 1527 previously authorized hazardous duty pay for INP personnel at P120.00 per month, which EO 1017 increases to P240.00.
Yes. The WHEREAS clause and Section 1 refer to personnel who are performing combat duty.
Yes. The WHEREAS clause and Section 1 refer to officers and men of the INP who are performing hazardous duty.
Students may be asked whether the coverage includes all uniformed INP categories or is limited to officers and enlisted-style “men,” and how to interpret the scope consistently with the Order’s wording.
The Order ties entitlement to performance of combat duty; if not performing combat duty, the increased combat pay rate under the Order would not apply absent the required condition.
