Comprehensive Social Benefit Program (CSBP)

One of the strategies for attaining just and lasting peace in the Philippine Development Plan is to make government more responsive to peace, conflict and security issues, which may be achieved by providing the police, military and their support units, the rightful and reasonable benefits in the performance of their sworn duties to defend and secure the State and to maintain peace and order.

Thus, there is a need to enhance and rationalize existing assistance and benefits given to police, military and their support units through a comprehensive social benefits program in recognition of their invaluable contribution to the pursuit of just and lasting peace.

Pursuant to Executive Order No. 110, the Comprehensive Social Benefits Program (CSBP) is hereby institutionalized as a mechanism to provide speedy, sustainable and rationalized social benefits and assistance to the military, police and their support units consisting of other uniformed personnel and CAFGU / CAA (collectively referred to as “covered personnel”) who are killed or wounded in a legitimate action or operation sanctioned by the State, and their qualified beneficiaries.

CSBP Program Coverage

The CSBP benefits shall be provided to the AFP and PNP casualties of legitimate military or police operations nationwide starting July 1, 2016, in accordance with the Program Guidelines.
