Healthworkers, teachers to get more cash aids

The Department of Education (DepEd) said Thursday its teachers and non-teaching personnel would receive their performance-based bonus for Fiscal Year 2020, which contrasts with the plight of nurses still awaiting their pay increase.

Anakalusugan party-list Rep. Mike Defensor urged the Department of Health to implement Malacañang’s order to increase the basic salary of most government nurses by at least P3,053 a month.

Defensor made the appeal after learning that many nurses in Quezon City hospitals, including those working at the Veterans Medical Memorial Center on North Avenue, were still awaiting their pay hike.

The DepEd statement came after the Inter-Agency Task Force on the Harmonization of National Government Performance Monitoring, Information and Reporting Systems assessed the department as eligible for the incentive.

“School-based personnel are eligible for the grant of the FY 2020 PBB subject to the result of DepEd’s school-level results-based performance management system for 2020,” it said.

The school-based personnel will be the first to receive their bonuses, the DepEd said.

DepEd personnel in “best performance” classification will receive a bonus worth 65% of their salary, 57.5 percent for “better performance,” and 50 percent for “good performance.”

In the House, Defensor said the DOH should compel these hospitals to follow the June 1, 2021 memorandum of Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea reversing the demotion by the Department of Budget and Management of government nurses.

He said the Medialdea memo also upgraded the position and compensation of nursing personnel with several years of experience from Nurse 1 to Nurse II, and from Salary Grade (SG) 15 to SG 16.

Citing a statement from the nursing staff association of the Philippine General Hospital, Defensor said most government nurses are Nurse ll holders.

According to the group, out of PGH’s 1,142 nurses, 823 or 72 percent are ranked as Nurse ll. Under DBM Circular 2020-4 issued on July 17, 2020, these nurses were demoted to Nurse I.

Defensor said Nurse II position occupants should now receive a basic monthly salary of P38,150 to P41,172 (SG 16) depending on length of service, while those with SG 15, which is the hiring rate for government nurses, should get P35,097.

“This means that most nurses in public hospitals, including those in local government units throughout the country, should be receiving additional compensation of P3,053 to P6,075 a month,” he said.

He said hospitals and LGUs that have not complied with the June memo of the Office of the President (OP) should start complying this month “since the government and LGUs are opening on new budgets.”

He pointed out that the non-compliant agencies should also pay their personnel a salary differential for six months because the OP directive was effective June 1, 2021.

Defensor admitted though that a number of government hospitals, including the National Kidney and Transplant Institute on East Avenue, Quezon City, are already compliant.

The OP memo, which sustained the DOH position on nurses’ compensation and staffing, also restored all nurse positions, including Nurse VII, which the DBM had abolished, and retained their salary levels.


Thus, the basic compensation of nurses is now P41,508 to P44,833 (SG 17) for Nurse III, P49,835 to P55,268 (SG 19) for Nurse IV, P55,799 to P61,937 (SG 20) for Nurse V, P69,963 to P77,801 (SG 22) for Nurse VI, and P88,410 to P99,020 (SG 24) for Nurse VII
