A bill filed in the House of Representatives seeks to allow the retroactive application of salary increases for LGU employees.
Rep. Brian Raymund Yamsuan of the Bicol Saro party-list group filed a bill allowing the retroactive application of salary increases for employees of local government units , a privilege that they currently do not enjoy owing to restrictions set under the law.
Yamsuan, a former Assistant Secretary of the Department of the Interior and Local Government , said Budget Secretary Amenah Pangandaman has confirmed that funds are available to ensure that the salary increases will be retroactively implemented starting January 2024. Pangandaman has also pointed out that the LGC needs to be amended for workers in LGUs to have the same benefit.
Yamsuan said he hopes that his fellow lawmakers will swiftly act on his measure to ensure that the salary hikes mandated under EO 64 would also be retroactively applied for local government employees. Under the bill, the DBM “shall issue guidelines to ensure that LGUs are able to effectively allocate and manage the necessary financial resources to implement budgetary adjustments and/or realignment in accordance” with the measure.
