APPROVING THE COMPENSATION AND POSITION CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM II AND PAY GRADES FOR GOVERNMENT-OWNED OR -CONTROLLED CORPORATIONS, REPEALING EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 150 (S. 2021), AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES

WHEREAS, Section 5, Article IX-B of the Constitution mandates the Congress to provide for the standardization of compensation of government officials and employees, including those in government-owned or -controlled corporations (GOCCs) with original charters, taking into account the nature of the responsibilities pertaining to, and the qualifications required for their positions;

WHEREAS, Section 8 of Republic Act (RA) No. 10149 or the "GOCC Governance Act of 2011" mandates the Governance Commission for GOCCs (GCG), after conducting a compensation study, to develop a Compensation and Position Classification System (CPCS) for GOCCs that consists of classes of positions grouped into such categories as the GCG may determine, subject to the approval of the President;

WHEREAS, on 01 October 2021, Executive Order (EO) No. 150 (s. 2021) approved the CPCS I and the Index of Occupational Services, Position Titles, and Job Grades for GOCCs (IOS0G) Framework for the GOCC Sector;

WHEREAS, EO No. 150 applied the CPCS I and the IOS-G Framework to all GOCCs, Government Financial Institutions (GFIs), Government Instrumentalities with Corporate Powers (GICPs)/Government Corporate Entities (GCEs), including their subsidiaries, unless excluded from the coverage of RA No. 10149;

WHEREAS, Section 9 of EO No. 150 provides that the GCG En Banc shall review the CPCS three (3) years after its effectivity, and every three (3) years thereafter, taking into account the performance of GOCCs, their overall contribution to the national economy, and the possible erosion in purchasing power due to inflation and other factors;

WHEREAS, pursuant to the foregoing mandate and in consideration of emerging sectoral needs, the GCG undertook a comprehensive evaluation of the CPCS I under EO No. 150 and consulted various stakeholders to develop a more responsive compensation system for the GOCC sector;

WHEREAS, such study and consultations identified opportunities to enhanced the CPCS I, particularly in refining job grade distinctions and improving access to employee health benefits, prompting the GCG to develop CPCS II with key enhancements, including salary adjustments to address job grade distortions and the introduction of medical allowance to support employee welfare; and

WHEREAS, after exhaustive deliberation and review, the GCG En Banc, through GCG Resolution No. 02 (s. 2025), has resolved to approve and endorse CPCS II, and submitted the same to the President of the Philippines for adoption and approval;

NOW, THEREFORE, I, FERDINAND R. MARCOS, JR., President of the Philippines, by virtue of the powers vested in me by the Constitution and existing laws, do hereby order:

While recognizing the Constitutional rights of workers to self-organization, collective bargaining, and negotiations, the Governing Boards of GOCCs shall not negotiate the economic terms and conditions of the CNAs/CBAs with their respective officers and employees.

CNA incentives shall be guided by the policies and guidelines established by the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) and shall be extended to cover non-chartered GOCCs to promote uniformity of allowable incentives within the GOCC Sector.

Section 3. Effective Dates of the CPCS II. GOCCs that have already implemented the CPCS I under EO No. 150 may adopt the monthly basic salaries (MBS) under this Order and the enhanced allowances, benefits, and incentives (ABIs) retroactive to 01 January 2025, upon receipt of their Authority to Implement (ATI) from GCG.

The MBS structure and ABIs of the a GOCC that has not yet implemented the CPCS I under EO No. 150, and which seeks to implement the CPCS II, shall be made effective upon issuance of their corresponding ATI from GCG.

Section 4. Non-Diminution of Authorized Salaries. In the implementation of the CPCS II, there shall be no diminution in the existing authorized salaries of incumbent officers and employees of GOCCs.

The existing compensation granted by GOCCs to its officers and employees, including any approved enhancements made to the same, shall be standardized in accordance with the CPCS II approved under this Order. No additional compensation outside the CPCS II shall be granted by the GOCC Governing Board, unless the same has been endorsed by the Supervising Agency, recommended by GCG, and approved by the President.

GOCCs under the supervision of OP shall submit their request under this provision directly to GCG after approval by their respective Governing Boards. Thereafter, the GCG shall submit its recommendation to OP.

Section 6. Rationalization of the Provident Fund. The CPCS II rates on the contributions to the Provident Fund shall apply to GOCCs, subject to the rationalization measures outlined in the CPCS II.

Section 7. Application of Step Increment. All officers and employees of GOCCs that have not yet implemented the CPCS I under EO No. 150 shall automatically start at Step 1 of the prescribed MBS structures in the CPCS II, unless otherwise provided therein. The progressions in the step increments may be adjusted, subject to the implementing guidelines to be issued by GCG.

GOCCs that are already implementing the CPCS I under EO No. 150 shall continue with their salary step progression, subject to the implementing guidelines to be issued by GCG.

Section 8. Periodic Review of the CPCS. The GCG En Banc shall review the CPCS three (3) years after its effectivity, and every three (3) years thereafter, taking into account the performance of GOCCs, their overall contribution to the national economy, their strategic importance, and the possible erosion in purchasing power due to inflation and other factors.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provision, the GCG En Banc may recommend specific adjustments to the CPCS II, as may be necessary, for approval of the President.

Section 9. Reports. The GCG shall submit to the President, through the Office of the Executive Secretary, a bi-annual report that shall include, among other, a summary of the authorizations issued by GCG for all covered GOCCs and the status of implementation of this Order.

Section 10. Funding. The implementation of compensation adjustments shall depend on the financial capability of a GOCC and its corporate operating budget (COB) as approved by the GOCC Governing Board and DBM.

a. Loans;

b. Sale of GOCC's asset/s for the sole purpose of compensation adjustment; and

c. Other schemes analogous to the foregoing.

Section 11. Affordability. GOCCs in Category 1 of the CPCS II that do not have adequate or sufficient funds to implement the rates thereunder, as may be determined by GCG, shall partially implement the salary schedule under this Order at a lower uniform percentage across all positions for every GOCC.

GOCCs in Categories 2 and 3 of the CPCS II that do not have adequate or sufficient funds to implement the rates thereunder, as may be determined by GCG, shall adopt the salary schedule of lower tiers or that of Category 1.

Section 12. Mandatory Action and Separation Incentive Pay. Any GOCC that fails or refuses to implement the CPCS II rates, or the lower amounts provided under Section 11 as may be applicable, shall undergo a mandatory action ad be reorganized, merged, streamlined, abolished, or privatized pursuant to Section 5(a) of RA No. 10149, upon recommendation of the GOCC's Supervising Agency.

All officers and employees who will be affected by the mandatory action in view of the implementation of the CPCS II shall be granted separation incentive pay (SIP) using the following formula, unless GCG recommend lower rates to OP:

YEARS OF SERVICE RATES
First 20 years 1.00 x MBS x No. of years
20 years and 1 day to 30 years 1.25 x MBS x No. of years
30 years and 1 day and above 1.50 x MBS x No. of years

"Years of Service" shall be understood as either Government Service or GOCC Service. For the purpose of computing the applicable early retirement incentive (ERI) or SIP, the specific years of service to be credited shall depend on the Category and Tier of the GOCC. In this regard, the GCG shall issue the necessary guidelines for the implementation of this provision to be submitted to the President for approval.

Section 13. Involuntary Separation and Early Retirements Incentive. Pursuant to Section 5(a) of RA No. 10149, the GCG En Banc is hereby authorized, at its discretion, to grant ERI to officers and employees who voluntarily elect to be retired, and SIP to those involuntarily separated from service, in accordance with the rates provided under Section 12 of this Order, unless adjusted rates are recommended to and approved bu OP.

The ERI and SIP authorized under this Order shall not be applicable to GOCCs which may already be entitled to ERI and/or SIP provided by other EOs issued by OP.

Upon recommended personnel action of a GOCC, whether pursuant to Section 5(a) of RA No. 10149 or otherwise, the GCG En Banc, may also authorize the grant of ERI and/or SIP to officers and employees who may qualify. In this regard, the GCG shall submit, for approval of the President, the relevant guidelines to implement this provision.

The GCG, as the Implementing Agency of this Order, is hereby authorized to resolve any question that may arise from this provision.

Section. 14. IOS-G Framework. The GCG shall issue, upon approval of the President, the IOS-G Framework for the GOCC Sector relative to CPCS II. Pending issuance of the aforementioned IOS-G Framework, the GCG may refer to the DBM 2022 Index of Occupational Services to determine the proper position titles and for such other purposes as may deemed necessary by GCG.

Section 15. Implementing Guidelines. The GCG En Banc is hereby authorized to issue implementing or clarificatory guidelines as may be necessary to carry out the objectives of this Order and/or the attached CPCS II, including, but not limited to, those relating to affordability, step increments, hiring rates, overtime pay, night shift differential, merit increases, separation pay programs, and grant of higher Performance-Based Bonus (PBB) rates for GOCCs under Categories 2 or 3 of CPCS II, taking into consideration prevailing practices in the private sector and the guiding principles provided in CPCS II.

Until the GCG En Banc provides otherwise, the following rules shall apply for the classification of GOCCs for purposes of the CPCS II:

1. GOCC CATEROGIZATION - GOCCs shall be categorized based on their nature of operations and financial viability to sustain their operations/activities. The GOCCs shall be categorized based on the following descriptors:

CATEGORY DESCRIPTORS
Category 1 GOCCs that are not self-sustaining either because:
They rely on National Government subsidies to fund their day-to-day operations; and/or
They have an average net loss for the last three (3) years, regardless whether they receive subsidies or not.
Further, at the time of initial CPCS II implementation, GOCCs that failed to submit the required information on their financials and FTE employees will also be included in Category 1.
Category 2 GOCCs that are self-sustaining through sources of funds generated from non-commercial activities.
Category 3 GOCCs that are self-sustaining through sources of funds generated from commercial activities, with products and services that directly compete with the private sector.

2. GOCC GRADING - Each GOCC shall be classified by its GOCC grade based on the weighted average grade in these three (3) factors:

(a) Company Financials - 60%

(b) Complexity - 30%

(c) Number of FTE Employees - 10%

GOCC grading is the foundation of the job evaluation process for each GOCC. The GOCC grade sets a cap to the number of grades in the organization and determines the grade of the CEO.

Newly created GOCCs shall be subject to the guidelines to be issued by the GCG En Banc.

2.1. Company Financials - GOCCs shall have a grade based on the average relevant financial indicators over the last three (3) years as reported in their audited financial statements and DBM and/or Board-approved corporate operating budgets:

GOCC GRADE FINANCIALS (₱)
16 < 3.975 billion
17 ≥ 3.975 billion and < 7.95 billion
18 ≥ 7.95 billion and < 26.5 billion
19 ≥ 26.5 billion and < 53 billion
20 ≥ 53 billion and < 106 billion
21 ≥ 106 billion and < 265 billion
22 ≥ 265 billion and < 530 billion
23 ≥ 530 billion and < 2.65 trillion
24 ≥ 2.65 trillion and < 5.3 trillion
25 ≥ 5.3 trillion

In consideration of the financial viability and source of funds to sustain an organization's full operations and activities, the financial indicators applicable for each GOCC shall be dependent on the Category of the GOCC. The three (3) years financials will be averaged based on the following formula for each category:

CATEGORY DESCRIPTORS
Category 1 Operating expense plus operating subsidies
Category 2 Operating expense (plus investment income, if any).
Program subsidies will not be included in the computation of financials of GOCCs under this category.
Category 3 Annual revenue or operating expense plus annual revenue minus statutory contributions.

2.2. Complexity - GOCCs shall have a grade for its complexity based on the fixed grade equivalent to its categorization:

GOCC GRADE CATEGORY
16 Category 1
18 Category 2
20 Category 3

2.3. Number of FTE Employees - GOCCs shall have a grade based on the number of FTE Employees as follows:

GOCC GRADE NO. OF FTE EMPLOYEES
16 Less than 91
17 91 to 240
18 241 to 620
19 621 to 1,600
20 1,601 to 4,100
21 4,101 to 10,600
22 10,601 to 27,500
23 27,501 to 75,000
24 75,001 to 200,000
25 More than 200,000

2.4. Official GOCC Grade - The GOCC shall have a weighted average grade based on Chapter V, Sections 2.1 to 2.3 to derive the official grade of the GOCC. A sample computation is provided as follows:

COMPONENT WEIGHT GRADE WEIGHTED GRADE
Financials 0.6 16 9.6
Complexity 0.3 18 5.4
FTE Employees 0.1 18 1.8
GOCC Final Grade 17

The resulting weighted average grade shall be rounded off to get the final GOCC Grade under the CPCS which shall be capped at Grade 20.

The conversion of the GOCC grade into the new salary tables will be included in the guidelines that will be issued by the GCG.

IV. COMPENSATION SYSTEM. The total compensation grated to officers and employees for services rendered shall hereinafter be limited to the following:

(a) Basic Salaries, including Step Increments

(b) ABI

(c) Variable Pay (Performance-Based Bonus)

Provided, That the CPCS II does not cover indirect compensation that is not specified herein and is regulated under existing laws such as, but not limited to: life and retirement insurance benefits, employee compensation insurance, health insurance, and PAG-IBIG Fund benefits: Provided further, That the GCG En Banc may issue clarificatory guidelines relative to the aforementioned indirect compensation as may be necessary.

All GOCCs shall migrate to the rationalized and standardized TCF that shall be implemented for their offices and employees in accordance with the basic salaries, including step increments, ABIs, and variable pay provided therein. The TCF to be adopted by GOCCs that have not yet migrated into the CPCS under EO No. 150 and seek to implement the CPCS II shall be allowed upon authorization of the GCG based on the GCG-certified GOCC Classification under Chapter V, and the job evaluation of all positions of the GOCC based on the Index of Occupational Services, Position Titles, and Job Grades for GOCCs in accordance with Section 15 of the EO on CPCS II.

A. BASIC SALARIES, INCLUDING STEP INCREMENTS

1. Basic Salaries - The MBS provided under the CPCS II is the maximum amount that the GOCC can grant to its officers and employees which shall be differentiated for Category 1 and Categories 2 and 3. A lower uniform percentage of the prescribed rates herein may be implemented by the GOCC based on its own implementation scheme of the CPCS II, provided that such scheme is based on:

(a) Affordability and sustainability of the GOCC top continually implement the CPCS rates for its offices and employees;

(b) Provision of gradual annual salary increase with the salary rates of the CPCS II as the cap, as authorized by the GOCC Governing Board; and/or

(c) Flexibility of the GOCC to provide its own salary tranches such that the amounts in the salary structure herein shall be the amount of the GOCC's final tranche and shall only be applied on the third year of implementation.

1.1. Salary Structure - There are a total of six (6) salary structures which GOCCs can implement depending on their profitability and sustainability of operations. Categorization and Tiering shall then be applied for GOCCs to adopt the appropriate structure that is within their financial capacity.

1.1.1 By Categorization - GOCCs under Category 1 shall follow one structure and shall not be classified further into Tiers.

GOCCs under Categories 2 and 3 shall have a total of five (5) structures wherein the applicable structure shall be based on the Tiers provided herein.

1.1.2 By Tiering - GOCCs under Categories 2 and 3 shall be subjected to Tiering which shall determine the corresponding salary structure that the GOCC can implement based on the following financials using the same formula provided under Chapter V, Section 2.1:

TIERS FINANCIALS (₱)
Tier 1 Between 1.98 billion to 3.97 billion
Tier 2 ≥ 3.97 billion
Tier 3 ≥ 20.32 billion
Tier 4 ≥ 36.6 billion
Tier 5 ≥ 53 billion

All GOCCs under Categories 2 and 3 with financials falling at P1.98B and below will automatically follow the pay structure for a Category 1 GOCC.

The GCG En Banc may adjust or set an appropriate Tier for a GOCC by reason of its strategic importance to national economy and development: Provided, That the GOCC's financial viability to sustain its operations/activities is considered and that the source of funds for the adjustment shall not be subsidized by the National Government or the parent GOCC, as may be applicable.

1.1.3. The MBS Structure for Category 1 GOCC shall be as follows:

Pay Grade Category 1
Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Step 7 Step 8
