Cops to donate P3.5-M to residents hit by Taal eruption
Metro Manila police officers are voluntarily donating their combat pay, projected to reach P3.5 million, to aid victims of the Taal volcano eruption.
Brig. Gen. Debold Sinas, NCRPO director, stated that while some officers will donate a portion of their monthly P3,000 combat pay, senior officials, including himself, will donate their entire combat pay.
Combat pay is a tax-exempted stipend given to armed services members in hazardous zones.
This voluntary donation initiative is separate from the P10 contribution per police officer initiated by PNP OIC Lt. Gen. Archie Gamboa.
Additionally, the NCRPO is providing assistance to its personnel affected by the eruption, with 514 members, including 492 police officers, impacted, and 97 cops severely affected.
