MANILA, Philippines - DBM
issues guidelines for second tranche of compensation adjustment for civilian
personnel, military and uniformed personnel.
Starting January 1, 2017, teachers, health workers, soldiers,
policemen, and all other civil servants will receive a bigger take home pay.
This is in line with the Duterte administration's pledge to raise the compensation of the country's public sector civilian workers and military and uniformed personnel (MUP).

“These are the people who help and protect the Philippines.
We want them to feel satisfied about their jobs, inspire them to be more productive workers and allow them to provide for their families. Raising their wages is only just,” said President Duterte.

Pursuant to Executive Order No.201 s. 2016 (EO 201), which grants a
compensation adjustment for government workers and additional allowances for
MUP in four tranches, the DBM issued National Budget Circular No. 568 and Local
Budget Circular No. 113.
The circulars will implement the second tranche of compensation adjustment for the said public servants.

National Budget Circular No. 568 outlines the guidelines, rules, and
regulations for the implementation of the second tranche of EO 201 for civilian
personnel in the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches, the
Constitutional Commissions and other Constitutional Offices, State Universities
and Colleges (SUCs), and government-owned-and-controlled corporations (GOCCs)
covered by the Compensation and Position Classification System (CPCS), under
Republic Act No. 6758.
Local Budget Circular No. 113 on the other hand covers all positions
for salaried local government unit (LGU) personnel and all positions for
barangay personnel which are paid monthly honoraria.
With the second tranche implementation of the compensation adjustments,
government workers are set to have more money in their pockets as their
salaries will increase in addition to the mid-year and year-end bonus. In
addition, an enhanced Performance-Based Bonus will be granted to those who meet
their agency targets.
For instance, a Teacher 1 will get an annual compensation package of
P324,962 while a Nurse 1 will get P398,822, bringing their total compensation
to twice that of their private sector counterparts.
Meanwhile, the MUP are now entitled to a provisional allowance, mid-year and year-end bonus, an enhanced Performance-Based Bonus subject to accomplishment of performance targets, as well as an increase in the hazard pay from P390.00 to P540.00 per month.Certain ranks will also receive augmentation in the form of officers’ allowance.
Thus, in 2017, the total annual compensation for a Police Officer 1
(PO1) and a military Private will be P399,396. This represents a 14 percent
increase in compensation for a PO1 and a 10 percent increase in compensation
for a Private.
The substantial increase in allowances will more justly reward our brave policemen and soldiers who put their lives on the line for the country.

Managers and executives will also receive substantial pay increases of
15 to 27 percent so the government may attract and retain the best talent. A
Division Chief will receive an amount ofP1,097,863annually; a Director IV-level
position P1,659,491 annually; a Secretary-level post P2,595,137 annually; and a
highest-ranking General, P2,144,283 per annum.
This scheme intends to
position their compensation packages closer to that of the private sector, in
line with the principle of "equal pay for work of equal value."
The compensation and allowances will be adjusted in accordance with the
schedule provided in EO 201.
Funding for compensation adjustments of national government agencies is provided for in the General
Appropriations Act (GAA) for FY 2017. For covered
GOCCs and GFIs, funding will be sourced from their respective corporate
operating budgets. While for LGU personnel, the amount shall be sourced from
LGU funds authorized by their respective sanggunian.
