Police in Cebu province may expect some financial aid from the Capitol after the Provincial Board (PB) said it will study the allocation of P1,000 in cash allowance for every police officer.
In yesterday’s session Senior Supt. Patrocinio Comendador, Cebu provincial police chief, updated the PB on the operational needs of the police.
PB member Rimophabil Holganza Jr. proposed the P1,000 allowance for every Cebu police officer.
He said he saw this assistance given to Cebu City police personnel. Comendador welcomed the proposal.
He said the League of Municipalities-Cebu chapter proposed to cover 50 percent of the allocation to the police.
LMP president and Dumanjug Mayor Nelson Garcia said this will be in addition to the two sacks of rice and 200 liters of gasoline they give to each precinct. /Correspondent Carmel Loise Matus
