President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo recently urged Congress to pass a law that will provide an additional 10 percent increase in the salaries of state workers via a new Salary Standardization Law.
According to the President, the proposed creation of a new Salary Standardization Law will grant a series of pay increases to the 1.2 million government employees who "work tirelessly to serve the country."
The President said this proposed increase in pay will also benefit public school teachers whom she called the "backbone of our educational system."
State workers received a 10 percent pay increase in 2007, when the government was able to garner record revenue surpluses brought about by the implementation of the Expanded Value Added Tax (E-VAT) Law.
