Prior Financial Support and Study for Continuity
- Executive Order No. 69 (2018) first granted financial support to CAFGU Active Auxiliary (CAA) members amounting to PHP 7,000 covering the last two months of 2018.
- The Department of Budget and Management (DBM) was tasked to study and propose mechanisms for continuing financial support on a monthly basis.
- Following this, the DBM recommended sustainable fiscal measures compliant with budgeting, accounting, and auditing laws.
Grant of Financial Support
- Starting July 1, 2019, a monthly financial support amounting to PHP 2,000 is authorized for each qualified CAA member.
- Support is limited to those who meet conditions set forth in the Order, particularly those actively rendering services and duly listed in the AFP-maintained roster.
Coverage and Conditions for Entitlement
- Only duly appointed CAA members appearing in the AFP roster and actively serving are entitled to the financial support.
- Members still undergoing training as of July 1, 2019, may receive prorated support upon satisfactory completion of training.

Implementation and Guidelines
- The DBM and the Department of National Defense (DND) will jointly issue guidelines for the effective implementation of this Order.
