Abstract : This study explored the perception of selected personnel of the Philippine National Police regarding the proposed Military and Uniformed Personnel Pension System Bill, which aims to establish a unified system for separation, retirement, and pension for military and uniformed services in the Philippines. The research employed a descriptive-evaluative design with purposive sampling to gather insights from police-commissioned officers and police-non- commissioned officers. The findings indicated that both police commissioned officers and police non-commissioned officers generally agreed that the provisions related to separation and pension had a moderate impact on them. However, the two groups differed in their assessment of retirement, with Police Commissioned Officers perceiving it to have a lesser impact compared to separation and pension. Furthermore, no significant difference was found between the perceptions of the two groups regarding retirement and pension aspects of Senate Bill No. 1419, but Police Commissioned Officers reported a higher perceived impact of separation issues. This study contributes to understanding the concerns and perceptions of PNP personnel regarding the proposed pension system, which could inform policymakers in refining the bill's provisions. By shedding light on how different ranks within the PNP perceive the new system, the research highlights the need for clear communication and transparent implementation of the bill to ensure a smooth transition to the new pension framework.
