Some congressional employees are reportedly ‘disgruntled’ because, after tax, they are taking home only P112,000 each.

Philippine Daily Inquirer first reported

about the increase in the Speaker’s bonus for House employees this year, and how several workers were upset that they were taking home just P112,000 instead of the gross amount of P150,000. A House insider told Rappler that Cayetano set the bonus amount at P150,000 so employees would still be able to bring home a bigger bonus than what they received in 2018 once the withholding tax was deducted.

Rappler reached out to House committee on accounts chairperson Abraham Tolentino to seek an explanation behind the withholding tax computation for the Christmas bonus. He has not replied to text messages and calls as of posting time. The accounts panel is tasked to oversee the internal budget of the House for its day-to-day operations, including the salaries and benefits of employees.Another source told Rappler the bonus was P80,000 per House worker during the terms of former speakers Feliciano Belmonte Jr and Pantaleon Alvarez, who was ousted in July 2018 and was replaced by Arroyo.Rappler.com

Wow! Nahiya naman kaming nag paka hirap magbtrabaho para pa swelduhin kayo ng tax namin.

Well welcome to reality! We even pay more taxes here in Europe so count yourselves. More lucky there in the PH!!

Siyempre inggit sa matataas puwesto milyon ang kurakot pero petiks sa trabaho

bayas yan e! amdyan sila sa paggawa ng batas pero ayaw nila sundin?

Buti nga kayo may 112k, kami wala.

Bkit di ba kayo sanay mabawasan ng tax?

sakim, buti nga kayo ganyan kalaki baka nga marami sa inyo co-terminus lang dun sa mga amo nyo, pasalamat na kayo.

Ang kakapal ng mukha nyo dyan sa kongreso...as if naman kayo nag aanalyze ng data for legislation...eh kumukuha lang kayo ng info from other govt agency, tapos sainyo 150k...huwawwwww...

Mga hayop lalo ka na cawatano pera ng masisipag nagpapakahirap magbayad ng buwis tapos ganyan lang ipamigay

I got nothing for Christmas and m happy because Speaker Cayetano is 😊

Better than nothing...we should be jealous to them as 100k alone is much much more than those private company executive employees....

That’s when you can tell why they ran for office. It’s not for the sake of serving the people, it’s for fattening their own pockets.

No worries lawmakers..your speaker can get you more

Your quality of work is worth less than P112,000.

Eh di WOW🙄🙄🙄🖕🏼

Feeling entitled

paki-audit na po lahat ng nagwo-work sa HouseofRepsPH

Sana all disgruntled sa hundred kyaw.

Halos annual income ko na po yan :(

Kapalmuks naman ng mga ito! Other govt employees especially those in the LGU do not get even a fraction of what they have received! Ano ba na-accomplished nila at pwede sila makareceived ng 150K at yung ibang govt employee ay hindi?

Masama pa loob sa 112,000 fucking pesos hindi niyo nga deserve yan mga hayop.

Disgruntled PA 112,000 npag hahalataan mga mukhang Pera wag gahaman.... Kme masaya na kme mabigyan ng 1k....

Ungrateful. Others especially ordinary workers would be very happy with their bonuses of 5K.

greed has no limit

Di ko alam kung matutuwa ako o mabubwisit ako sa inarte nyo e.

tanga ba cla... obvious may tax.... congresista pa namn. pakiname drop ng congresista na yan pra di na maboto

Buti nga mayroon pa kayong natanggap. Iyong ibang workers diyan wala. Pasalamat pa kayo.

Matutong makuntento dahil kahit anong laki pa tatanggapin niyo, di niyo yan ma-appreciate hanggat di kayo marunong makuntento. Isipin niyo na lang na sobra kayong pinagpala kaysa mga mahihirap na pino-problema saan kukuha ng ihahain sa pamilya

shame on you.

Only P112k? Wow, at nagreklamo pa

Better than nothing....offcourse a lot will envy and I will admit it including myself and especially those real hard working citizens....

😂😂😂

wow ha.. pano pa kaya ung halos wla ng matira sa sweldo dahil sa tax..😏😏😏

Disgruntled? Upset? Dahil may tax? Sino itong mga ito!! Ang sarap batuhin ng barya! Sobrang laki na ng P112,000! Pasalamat nga kayo at may ganyan kayo kalaking bonus. Samantalang 'yong mga job orders na bukod sa wala ng benepisyong natatanggap wala pang bonus! Nakakagigil kayo!

Grabe, ang karamihan ng pinoys walang xmas bonus, 13th month pay, itong mga taong ito nagrereklamo pa samantalang galing naman sa pawis ng mga manggagawang pinoys ang pera na yan!

Pabonus 150k aba, Samantala ..

Kapal muks.. disgruntled?.. tax payers money yan..

Kami nga 25k CNA lang wala pa. Pati nga promotion sa amin naging bato. Kayo may 112k na libre umaangal pa. Tengeneng life naman dis 😂

Wow kawawa naman kayo

The nerve, not everyone received a bonus for the holidays and pretty sure those people would appreciate receiving a fraction of what they received. AnakNgDiyosAngHOREmployees

Congressional employees are still disgruntled with P112K? Others are receiving only their 13th month pay and they are happy. In the first place, what you are receiving are taxpayer’s money and Congress is not an earning institution.

Perhaps they would rather have received nothing at all...

Pambihira! Sa ibang ahensya, wala. Mga greedy just like your bosses.

Sige enjoy ninyo yan kasi siguradong ipare-refund ng COA yan pag na-post audit na ang congressional spendings!

Wow. Kami ngang ordinaryong mangagawa hindi sigurado kung may Christmas bonus tapos 100k niyo nirereklamo niyo? Akin na lang.😊

At puro tsismis Na naman kayo. “reportedly” ...di na ba uso ang “according to a reliable source”? 😂😂😂😂

Cingressional employees should be grateful that they were given bonuses and able to pay taxes. Their salaries and bonuses were paid for by taxpayers' hard-earned sacrifices!

DSWD tells public: Don’t give alms to street kids, IPs this ChristmasThe spirit of giving might be in the air this holiday season but Social Welfare Secretary Rolando Bautista is discouraging the public to extend such a kind gesture to street beggars. | DYGalvezINQ DYGalvezINQ How about garbage collectors who give envelopes to homeowners asking for pamasko? Homeowners pay taxes and garbage collection is the local govt’s job. DYGalvezINQ Yes kids should not be in the streets asking for money from motorists DYGalvezINQ This is true. If you keep on giving them alm, patuloy silang manghihingi sa kalye, sa jeep at saan-saan pa which expose them to hazard/accidents. Kung walang magbibigay, wala na manghihingi. May batas din po tayo na bawal mamalimos
