DBM to propose to PNoy release of Tranche 1 of salary adjustment
February 5, 2016
The Department of Budget and Management (DBM) is preparing its
recommendations to President Benigno S. Aquino III on the possible
implementation of the first tranche of salary adjustments for government
workers, as provided for in the proposed Salary Standardization Law 4
bill, Communications Secretary Sonny Coloma Jr. said Thursday.
“A total of P57.9 billion appropriation is included in the General Appropriations Act of 2016 and this will fully cover the first tranche,” Coloma said. “DBM will include a similar item in the proposed National Expenditure Program (NEP) for 2017, to cover the second tranche.”
The proposed NEP for 2017 will be turned over to the next administration, he added.
In a separate statement, DBM Secretary Florencio “Butch” Abad said, “The Executive has options within its power to effect the proposed compensation adjustment.”
Abad cited Section 13 of Presidential Decree No. 985 and Item 17 of Congress Joint Resolution No. 4, s. 2009, authorizing the President to periodically revise or update, upon the recommendation of the DBM, the government’s Compensation and Position Classification System.
Based on these laws, Abad said, the President may effect a compensation adjustment that is still consistent with the compensation adjustment strategy under the proposed Salary Standardization Law of 2015.

DILG targets to relocate 26,367 Informal Settler Families living in high-risk areas this year

DILG targets to relocate 26,367 Informal Settler Families living in high-risk areas this year
Interior and Local Government Secretary Mel Senen Sarmiento today announced that a total of 26,367 slum dwelling families are set for relocation this year in line with the Aquino government's commitment to provide safer and more decent homes for Metro Manila's Informal Settler Families (ISF).
Sarmiento said this is part of the DILG’s undertakings pursuant to Memorandum Order No. 57 issued by President Aquino on August 2013 directing DILG to spearhead the transfer of ISFs living in danger and high-risk areas, in coordination with local government units (LGUs), the Presidential Commission for the Urban Poor (PCUP), National Housing Authority (NHA), and other relevant government agencies.
“Shelter as basic need for the proper growth of a family is the best gift for ISFs. DILG is relentless in its Oplan LIKAS and Oplan HANDA,” said Sarmiento.
Oplan LIKAS (Lumikas para Iwas Kalamidad at Sakit) and Oplan HANDA (Handa sa Disaster at Aksidente) are under the One Safe Future (1SF) program with convergence approach of different stakeholders for a people-centered and community-driven action in helping build secure, resilient and sustainable communities.
According to Sarmiento, the targeted relocation of 26,367 ISFs is based on the capacity of the government in the production of housing units. Since 2013, more than 20,000 ISFs have already been relocated from waterways in Metro Manila.
“We have two roles: facilitating the relocation of ISFs and assisting in the preparation of housings especially through the People’s Plan. We check the eligibility of ISFs living in danger areas to borrow fund,” said Jesus Jayson C. Miranda, Program Manager of ISF Project Management Office of the DILG.
People’s Plan gives optimum weight and consideration on the participation of the settlers in identifying, conceptualizing, planning, designing, developing, and managing shelter projects.
Last October 2015, Sarmiento announced that a micro-medium rise building was being constructed at Dubai Site, Baseco Compound, Barangay 649, Zone 68, Port Area, Manila to provide permanent settlement for 225 beneficiary-families.
An ISF seed grant of P36-million was given by the DILG to the City of Manila for the construction of the said building.
