Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte said that he would increase the salaries of policemen to P75,000 to P100,000 each within 3 years as part of his strategy to fight crime and corruption, should he be elected as president.
Cayetano, who presented their tandem’s platform “Pagbabagong Tunay” made the statement at a news conference in Taguig City on Monday.
Sen. Cayetano said that Duterte wants police officers to bear the cost of living so that they would not resort to illegal doings and scams.
He said that in Metro Manila, a person would have to spend P30,000 to P35,000 to be able to support his or her family. But a police officer or a jail guard could only earn P14,000 to P18,000 a month at the start of his or her career.
That’s why some our men in uniform is resorting to bribery and other corrupt practices, Cayetano said. Increasing their pay would enable them to meet the cost of living and focus on their work. He has said the same about soldiers.
Increasing the salaries of law enforcers to as much as double will cost about P150 billion, Cayetano said.
He said that the upgrading of salaries would not require additional taxation, based on computations.
“Even if our objective is to double, it’s P150 billion. The budget went from just over a trillion pesos when President Aquino took over to P3 trillion. So just the normal increase of revenues every year, which is P150 to P200 billion, can already cover the increases for 2017,” he said.
This could also be done by limiting infrastructure development and improvement to only a few key projects, he said.
Investing in the police force would show a return in several ways, said Cayetano.
“Their salaries need to be raised because two things will go away: crime and corruption. When there is no crime, there will be more investments, more business. Second, when there is no corruption, there will be more money for the government,” he said.
Yan ang pinakahihintay ng ating mga pulis at sundalo dahil nararapat lang na mabigyan sila ng mataas na sahod
Ang galing mo talaga mayor at sen alan dahil binibigyan nyo ng halaga ang ating kapulisan at mga sundalo
Binubuwis nila ang kanilang buhay para sa ating kaligtasan at maliit pa nga yan kung ang katumbas naman nito ay ang kanilang buhay. Mabuhay ka mayor at kuya alan
Hanga talaga ako sa kabutihan ng iyong loob mayor at patunay lang ito na may halaga sayo ang ating mga pulis at sundalo
Yan ang dapat para naman hindi na makapagisip pa ng masama ang mga pulis at sundalo
Kulang pa nga yan dahil buhay nila ang nakataya sa kanilang trabaho pero saludo ako sayo mayor dahil pinapahalagahan mo ang ating mga kababayan
pde 100k a month para d na mangotong mga pulis kaya lang saan mo kukunin ung pang pasahod mo sa ilegal din eh d ayos hahaha.
This is very possible given that Duterte will demolish the Congress when he will win. That means billions of ghost projects will truly be gone. Huge savings for the government. Mabunganga ka lang mayor but I can appreciate your platform is solid.
Maliit pa nga yan kesa sa mga nakukuha ng mga kurakot na politiko kaya mayor saludo ako sayo
Yan ang dapat mayor dahil sila ang pumoprotekta sa atin at nararapat lang na taasan ang kanilang sahod
Delikado ang trabaho nila at tama lang na taasan ang kanilang sahod
Maliit lamang ito na gantimpala para sa ating mga bayani na hindi nagdadalawang isip na ibuwis ang kanilang buhay
Kaya may mga pulis na nalilihis ng landas dahil hindi sapat ang kanilang kinikita dahil busy ang mga politiko sa pangungurakot kaya mabuhay ka mayor!
Malaking tulong na yan para sa ating mga kapulisan at sundalo mayor at sen alan. Ang galing nyo talaga

Ayun! Dadagdagan ang sahod ng mga pulis. dapat lang naman at napakahirap ng kanilang trabaho.
para saakin napakagandang ideya yan ni Mayor Duterte at Sen Cayetano. Atleast dito di na makakaisip ng katiwalain ang mga pulis natin.
Tama lang po yan Mayor Duterte. Sigurado ako, maraming matutuwang mga pulis kapag nanagyare ito,
Dahil dito mababawasan na ang mga pulis na napipilitang gumawa ng masama dahil kulang ang kanilang sinasahod. Galing talaga nina Duterte at Cayetano.
Sana maisakatuparan talaga ito bilang pasasalamat na rin ito sa mga magigiting nating pulis. Salamat sainyo Duterte and Cayetano.
