: BILLNO,_8487_ L

Introduced by REP. EVELINA G, ESCUDERO.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Section 5, Article IX-B of the Constitution provides that:

The Congress shall provide for the standardization of compensation of
government officials and employees, including those in government-owned or
controlled corporations with original charters, taking into account the nature of
the responsibilities pertaining to, and the qualifications required for, their
positions.

In consonance with the above provision, this amendatory bill proposes to rectify the
overarching scope of Republic Act No. 10149 which includes even the compensation
standardization of government owned or controlled corporations (GOCCs) without original charter.

Hence, such GOCCS created and organized by virtue of Batas Pambansa Bilang 68 or the
Corporation Code must be governed by the appropriate provisions of Presidential Decree No. 442

or the Labor Code of the Philippines insofar as salary or compensation standardization is
concerned.

Respectfully submitted.

_ laseter!

EVELINA G. ESCUDERO.
