WHEN major issues are up for deliberation in the House of Representatives, the Speaker usually calls allies for support.
Rep. Erico Aristotle “Aris” Aumentado (Bohol, 2nd District) was among those who Speaker Feliciano Belmonte Jr. called to support the new salary standardization bill that seeks to rationalize the salary increase of government workers over the next four years.
Aumentado said it is high time that the salary of government workers is increased for them to cope with the rising cost of living.
Given the price movement of products through these years, the solon observed that the salary of ordinary government workers is no longer enough to support a family of four.
The bill also has a provision for a 14th month pay for these workers to have fallback funds to use during the school opening in May on top of the yuletide season bonus.
Aumentado vowed that he will fully support this bill when presented at the plenary for deliberation. ~~~ END
