San Juan approves incentives for most oustanding men in uniform

The San Juan City Council has passed an ordinance to provide incentives to the Philippine National Police (PNP), Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), and Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) personnel who have displayed exceptional performance of duty.

The ordinance is titled “An Ordinance granting incentive to uniformed personnel from the Philippine National Police, Bureau of Fire Protection, Bureau of Jail Management and Penology detailed to the City of San Juan who has exemplified service excellence in promoting the national interest while supporting government programs of the Local Government of the City of San Juan and appropriating funds for the purpose thereof”.

The incentive will be given to all personnel from PNP, BFP, and BJMP, regardless of employment status and detailed to the San Juan City Government for at least six months, who have been recognized by their respective agencies for outstanding service.

The selection of the awardees will be based on nominations from their respective agencies, accompanied by a letter of recommendation, and evaluated based on their demonstrated patriotism, integrity, excellence, and spirituality; ability to work with others; and overall contribution to the upliftment of the general welfare of the people of San Juan.

A cash reward of fifty thousand pesos (P50,000) will be given per agency for specific categories, such as the Best Police Commissioned Officer (PCO), Best Police Non-Commissioned Officer (PNCO), Best Non-Uniformed Personnel (NUP), Best in Operations, Best in Administration, Best Male Dormitory Jail Officer, and Best Female Dormitory Jail Officer.
