EXPLANATORY NOTE

Republic Act No. 9227 otherwise known as an “Act Granting Additional
Compensation In The Form of Special Allowances For Justices, Judges And All Other
Positions In The Judiciary With The Equivalent Rank Of Justices Of The Court Of Appeals
And Judges Of The Regional Trial Court, And For Other Purposes” was enacted granting,
among others, additional compensation in the form of Special Allowances for Justices,
Judges and all other positions in the judiciary with the equivalent rank of justices of the
Court of Appeals and judges of Regional Trial Court. However, it would appear than in
granting the Special allowance, those judicial officers with the rank, salary, and privileges of
Metropolitan Tria Courts were not included in the description of Judicial Officials covered by
the law.

This bill seeks to amend R.A.9227 to expressly include all judicial officers with the
tank, salary and privileges of Metropolitan Trial Court Judges among those officials entitled
fo the Special Allowance.

For this reason, the passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
