AN ACT
RECLASSIFYING 
THE 
SALARY 
AND 
QUALIFICATIONS 
OF 
CERTAIN 
EMPLOYEES IN  THE JUDICIARY AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES
EXPLANATORY NOTE
The 1987 Philippine Constitution guarantees every employee the right to a 
decent living wage and adequate income in order to sufficiently provide for their 
famiiies. The State must also ensure that its employees are able to adequately provide 
for themselves and their dependents. Thus, employees of all sectors of the 
government must be compensated fairly with salaries commensurate to their merits 
and amount of work they perform.
The Judiciary Branch of the Philippine Government is one of its three 
independent yet co-equal branches. The duties of the Judiciary include the duty of the 
courts of justice to settle controversies involving rights which are legally enforceable 
and demandable. They also determine whether or not there has been a grave abuse 
of discretion amounting to lack or excess of jurisdiction on the part of any branch or 
instrumentality of the Government. Part of the important mandate of this branch 
include its employees who perform an invaluable role in the speedy administration of 
justice in our country. Hence, the State must ensure that all the appointees in these 
crucial positions are qualified, competent and properly paid.


In this bill, it is proposed that the salaries and qualifications of the positions 
mentioned in this bill be reclassified and updated. It is high time that we recognize 
the importance of these employees and the essential task that they each perform. 
Increasing the salaries of these court personnel will enable them to work more 
efficiently, leading to a speedy administration of justice in our country.
In view of this foregoing, the approval of this bill is earnestly sought.
RAM O^BONG REVILLA, JR.
