The House of Representatives on Wednesday approved on second reading the bill lowering the optional retirement age for government workers from 60 to 56 years old.
“Sa panahong ito, nakatanggap ang aming opisina at ang Komite ng napakaraming position paper, mensahe, at iba pang pahayag ng pagtulak at suporta para sa mas maagang optional retirement age. Ang pinakamalalaking sektor ng pamahalaan ay edukasyon, kalusugan, at social welfare, kung saan marami ang empleyadong ilang taon na lang ay senior citizen na——ang mga opisina ring pinakamahirap at pinakanakakapagod ang trabaho,” Castro said.
This is on top of the fact that the amount of benefits for those who filed retirement due to permanent disability is lesser than the ordinary retirement pay.
