EO 107: Updated Base Pay for Military and Uniformed Personnel
Legal question
How much will military and police base pay increase, and when does each tranche take effect?
Applicable laws and rules to discuss
- Executive Order No. 107, updating the MUP base pay schedule
- Presidential Decree No. 985, the Budgetary Reform Decree
- Congress Joint Resolution No. 4 (s. 2009)
Why this matters
The updated schedule covers all uniformed services — the Armed Forces, PNP, BJMP, BFP, PPSC, Philippine Coast Guard, NAMRIA, and Bureau of Corrections. It raises pay for every rank from Candidate Soldier through General, and increases the daily subsistence allowance to P350, effective January 1, 2026.
The legal frame
Acting on DBM's recommendation under Joint Resolution No. 4, the Order sets a three-tranche implementation (January 2026, January 2027, and January 2028), funds the first tranche from the FY 2026 General Appropriations Act, and creates an inter-agency working group to review the long-term sustainability of the MUP pension system.
Who this affects
Active MUP personnel across all covered services, and dependents tracking pension sustainability discussions, should confirm their specific rank's pay grade under the schedule with their finance or personnel office.
Practical discussion points
Personnel can ask PHLaw.AI how the MUP pension system currently works and why it is under review for sustainability.
