Bong Go files another version of SSL V Bill modifying salary schedule of gov't personnel

President Rodrigo Duterte called on Congress to pass a new Salary Standardization Law that will raise the pay of government workers, including public school teachers in his 4th State of the Nation Address (SONA).



“I believe that it is now time for Congress to approve a new version of the Salary Standardization Law. Ngayon na. To the teachers, who toil and work tirelessly to educate our young, kasali na po dito iyong hinihingi niyo. Hindi naman masyadong malaki pero it will ride you over,” Duterte said.

There is a salary increase for the teachers, "a little bit bigger" Duterte said.

How much is the little bit bigger "? If the basis will be Salary Standardization Law V bill of Senator Bong Go (SB 200), it will add Php 591 per month to the salary of the Teacher I (Salary Grade 11) - from the current Php 20,754 /month, it's going to be Php 21,345.
