Philippine Army pay and benefits

I have been meeting friends with their husbands in military duty. It reminds me of my uncle who is also in military service. When I was a kid he showed some photos of him in military suit holding a gun. My uncle was active in duty in his younger years. He had overcome a couple of battles and now that he is a veteran he still serves and he was assigned in the regional office. Here in the Philippines, I have heard that there are good benefits being in the military service especially when you become veterans. Before, my uncle and his family lived in the national capital region but then decided to move to their province to manage their own business there. I have learned that being in a military service; they have a privilege to apply for loans just like the Military VA Loan in the US. It would be a great help for every family of a military men to acquire housing loans or housing privileges for their family. I wonder what are the pay and benefits of the Philippine Army in the Philippines so I it search online. Here’s what I have found:
