employees, including public school teachers and nurses, will get an increase in salaries ranging from 17.1 percent to 24.1 percent, to be given in four tranches every Jan.1 from 2020 to 2023.

Under Mr. Duterte’s Executive Order 76, which authorized the SSL, workers with salary grades 1 to 10 will get 17.5 percent to 20.5 percent increase over four years, while mid-level workers from salary grades 11 to 13 will get the biggest raise of 24.1 percent this year and 30.7 percent in 2023. Under the SSL, an entry-level teacher with a salary of P20,754 will get P22,316 this year, to become P23,877 in 2021; P25,439 in 2022; and P27,000 in 2023.

The teachers may have a reason to gripe, especially if they compare their pay increase with those of the military and the police, whose salaries were doubled by the President in 2018. Presidential spokesperson Salvador Panelo said there is still time for the President to deliver on his promise to double the salaries of teachers.
