AN ACT
INCREASING THE SALARY SCHEDULE OF C IV ILIA N  PERSONNEL IN  THE 
GOVERNMENT, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES
EXPLANATORY NOTE
This bill seeks to improve the purchasing power of approximately 1.4 million 
civil servants1 in the country that was eroded by inflation by providing an increase in 
the salary of government officials and employees.
It also aims to attract and retain competent and committed civil servants and 
increase productivity among the public sector workers.
By virtue of Executive Order No. 201, the national government implemented 
the salary adjustments and additional benefits for government employees which was 
further amended by Executive Order No. 76 dated March 15, 2019. The modified 
Salary Schedule was implemented in four tranches from January 1, 2016 to April 1, 
2019. However, the adjusted salary is deemed unfair and inadequate by most 
government personnel especially those under Salary Grades 1 to 16 which comprise 
about 84 percent of the government workforce.
This proposal will put more money in government employees' pockets and will 
increase disposable income, boost consumer spending, and in turn would stimulate 
the economy and help generate more revenues.
1 Table 1. Staffing Summary of the National Government. Fiscal Year 2020.


This bill mandates the implementation of salary increases for government 
officials and employees in accordance with salary schedules for three (3) tranches. 
The salary schedules shall be implemented on January 1, 2020 and every January 1 
thereafter until the final tranche in 2022.
The salary increase is equivalent to an accross the board annual ten percent 
increase for three (3) years plus an additional total of Ten Thousand Pesos 
(P10,000) in the basic monthly salary spread in three (3) years.
With this bill, the government would alleviate the living conditions of the 1.4 
million public servants. Consequently, the much-needed relief that this measure 
offers will further motivate government personnel and invigorate public service.
With the foregoing considered, immediate passage of this bill is earnestly
sought.
