In a major step, the Philippine Armed Forces has granted an increase of 133% in the daily subsistence allowance of all military personnel, from Php150 to Php 350 ($6). The move, which is designed to assist in food and meal purchasing costs, is included in the approved 2025 General Appropriations Act.

Earlier, all 150,000 of the troops across the country received Php150 a day. The increase to Php350 is a significant step towards improving the welfare of Filipino troops, showing the seriousness of the government in looking after them.

The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) explained that news stating that the allowance increase had been rejected were untrue. The AFP stated that the increase had actually been included in the approved 2025 budget and they requested the public to cease spreading false information.

The AFP underscored the fact that extra money for daily allowances of the soldiers shows that the government cares about the health and welfare of the troops. The raise would be beneficial for the daily situation of the soldiers, making their food and eating expenses easier to manage.
