00:00The government's employees will now be able to receive their first payment of their salary.

00:07The increase in salary will be divided into four parts until the end of 2027.

00:14Retroactive payments will also be made from January this year.

00:19This is what Sujin Kim reported.

00:22Budget Secretary Amena Pangandaman assured that retroactive payments will start from January 2024 and will continue until 2027.

00:34Pangandaman explained that the guidelines for the Salary Standardization Law 6 or SSL 6 is now complete,

00:41following the issuance of Executive Order No. 62 this August 2.

00:45The Executive Order No. 62 passed by President Marcos Jr. will give higher salaries to professionals and sub-professionals.

00:54Under the first tranche, 4.41% will be the salary increase for Salary Grade 1 to 31.

01:01For sub-professionals or SG1 to 10, 4% to 5.30% or around P530.

01:10For professionals or SG11 to 24, 4.5% to 5.6% will be the salary increase.

01:17If compared to SSL 5, the estimated increase in SSL 6 is higher.

01:23No matter what, we want to chase our salary in the private sector.

01:30On average, the increase from Salary Grade 1 to 31 is 15.2%.

01:39Now, the increase is 18.2%.

01:44The DBM of P70 billion in the 2025 National Expenditure Program has increased

01:50to ensure the fulfillment of the first tranches of the salary increase.

01:54They can use their existing P.S. that they have now.

02:00And then whatever is lacking, we will get that from the MPBF.

02:05Meanwhile, there is an estimated P36 billion for personnel services expenditures

02:10under the 2024 General Appropriations Act as preparation for the salary increase.

02:16It is expected that more than 165,000 sub-professionals, 1,170,000 professionals

02:24such as teachers and lawyers, and 22,640 people in equitable positions

02:30will benefit from the increased salary.

02:32The DBM made it clear that the COS or Contract of Service and JO or Job Orders are not included in SSL 6.

02:40However, they can give premiums to their salaries.

02:47Anytime, they can add up to 20% to increase their salaries a little bit

02:55because they don't get the same benefits from the civil service.

03:01That's what is included in the mandate of the civil service for the previous governments.

03:06In addition, when the differential will be obtained depends on the agencies.

03:12It depends on the process of the agencies.

03:15Like that, teachers, if the Department of Education processes it quickly,

03:22they will get it right away.

03:25Meanwhile, the DBM also announced that a total of Php 9.6 billion was allocated

03:30for the medical allowance of government employees starting next year.

03:35This allocation will give Php 7,000 to each government employee

03:40as a medical allowance subsidy for obtaining health maintenance organization benefits or HMO-type benefits.

03:47The excluded are all those who receive HMO.

03:53It will cover 1,358,362 civilian personnel.

04:00The people of the medical allowance can be used for various medical services

04:05that can help public employees to be ready for any health-related emergencies.
