President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. on Tuesday approved new salary adjustments and medical benefits for employees of government-owned or -controlled corporations (GOCCs), recognizing their dedication to delivering essential services to Filipinos.

In his remarks during the 2025 GOCCs’ Day held in Malacañan Palace, President Marcos said the reforms form part of his administration’s recognition of the sacrifices and contributions of the GOCC workforce.

“In support of the hardworking men and women who make this possible, I have approved the Compensation and Position Classification System II that would increase the salaries of GOCC employees. I have also approved the provision of a tiered medical allowance for GOCC employees depending on the capacity of the GOCCs,” President Marcos said.

The President clarified that for corporations that had already implemented the earlier Compensation and Position Classification System (CPCS) 1, the adjustments will apply retroactively.

“For GOCCs that implemented CPCS 1, the increases will retroact to January 1, 2025, upon receipt of their Authority to Implement from GCG,” the President said.

President Marcos said the move ensures fair recognition for workers who continue to uphold efficiency, transparency, and accountability in public service.

“Dahil sa inyong determinasyon at malasakit, mas maraming Pilipino ang ating natutulungan at naaabot ng ating mga serbisyo,” President Marcos said.

The Chief Executive stressed that investing in the welfare of GOCC employees reflects the government’s commitment to fostering a more capable and motivated public sector workforce that can further deliver on the Bagong Pilipinas vision. | PND
