AN ACT
UPGRADING THE POSITION OF SANITATION INSPECTOR TO THE NEXT 
HIGHER SALARY GRADE AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR
EXPLANATORY NOTE
The State shall protect and promote the right to health of the people and 
instill health consciousness among them as provided for under Article II, Section 15 
of the 1987 Constitution.
As public health workers, sanitation inspectors are the front liners in the 
prevention and control of environmental health-related diseases. Since sanitary 
inspectors work closely with the community, they are in a very crucial position to 
effect change in the sanitary habits and practices of the community. They work 
together with the rural health units in the prevention of epidemics and outbreaks of 
all kinds of diseases as provided for under Presidential Decree No. 856, otherwise 
known as "The Code of Sanitation of the Philippines."
This bill seeks to upgrade the position of sanitary inspectors to the next 
higher salary grade. By this, upgrading the salaries of the Sanitarians, they will 
highly be motivated in fulfilling their responsibilities to provide quality health care, 
truly responsive to the needs of the community's primary health care.
In view of the foregoing, the approval of this bill is earnestly sought.
RAM O ^b6 n G REVILLA, JR.
