A PNP Patrolman/Patrolwoman earns ₱31,151 per month in base pay in 2026 — up from ₱29,668 in 2025 under Executive Order No. 107 (s. 2025), which grants military and uniformed personnel (MUP) a 15% base-pay increase across three tranches: ₱31,151 in 2026, ₱32,634 in 2027, and ₱34,119 in 2028. The most senior rank, Police General, earns ₱157,274 per month.

How the 15% increase rolls out (2026–2028)
EO 107 updates the base pay in three equal tranches. For an entry-level Patrolman:

| 2027 (2nd tranche) | ₱32,634 |
| 2028 (3rd tranche) | ₱34,119 |
Every rank rises by the same 15% over the three tranches.
