Philippines military allowance increased to P350 daily

President Marcos has signed Executive Order No. 84, increasing the daily subsistence allowance for military personnel from P150 to P350. This marks a 133% increase, the first adjustment since 2015. The new allowance applies to all active military members, those in training, and personnel in the Citizen Armed Force Geographical Unit. The increase is retroactive to January 1, 2025. The funding for this increase will come from the Armed Forces' approved budget and other sources identified by the Department of Budget and Management. Future budget proposals will include necessary funding for ongoing implementation.
