Executive Order No. 108 was signed by President Joseph Ejercito Estrada on June 10, 1999.
The increased subsistence allowance is effective from January 1, 1999.
The covered personnel include all Police Commissioned Officers and Police Non-Commissioned Officers of the Philippine National Police, cadets of the Philippine National Police Academy, and PNP recruits undergoing training at PNP training institutes.
The previous subsistence allowance was Thirty Pesos (P30.00) per day.
The new subsistence allowance is Sixty Pesos (P60.00) per day.
The increase was justified by the rising prices of food and other food products, which made the previous allowance inadequate to meet minimum food quality, quantity, and nutritional requirements of police personnel.
For the calendar year 1999, funds shall come from the Miscellaneous Personnel Benefits Fund.
From 2000 and beyond, the budgetary requirements will be included in the Annual Appropriations of the Philippine National Police.
