Good News! PBBM Approves salary increase for all government workers
President Bongbong Marcos has announced a new salary increase package for government employees to be implemented in four tranches starting late 2024
Meyron ding napipintong uminto sa sweldo na makukuha nila sa apat na tranche, Naglaan napo tayo ng pundo para dito simula sa taon nato at sa mga susunod pa! -PBBM
Salary Increase for Gov't Officials and Employees Effective January 2024
The "Salary Standardization VI" seeks to grant increases to the basic salary of government workers, to be given in four (4) tranches. This will allow them to cope with the continually rising prices of basic commodities and services to be able to continue to provide decent living to their families. More importantly, the proposed bill intends to convey the government's gratitude for their selfless service and utmost dedication to their work.
This will make the compensation of government workers competitive, thus helping retain the incumbent employees and attract applicants at the same time. Through this, we can expect a more vibrant and robust civil service in the country.
Government employees with Salary Grade 11 will receive P29,700 in the First Tranche and P39,531 in the Fourth Tranche.
Conclusion
While the announcement has been met with enthusiasm, there is a shared hope among government workers that the increase will be implemented without delay. The phased approach aims to balance fiscal responsibility with the immediate needs of employees, but many are eager to see these changes take effect as soon as possible.
With this positive development, government employees can look forward to better financial stability and an enhanced capacity to contribute to the nation's growth. The government remains committed to ensuring that this salary increase is rolled out efficiently and effectively, fulfilling the promise made during the SONA 2024.
