Philippine Federal Service Salary Grade 15

**fourtheboys96** · September 23rd, 2009 10:27 AM

as of now, grade 15, step 1 (fyi, up to step 8 per grade, e.g. 15-1, 15-2, etc.) earns Php18+++ per month plus Php2K additional monthly compensation.

then re-compute considering the legislated 10% annual increase for the next 4 years starting this year.

Our government pays better at lower levels than the private sector but is awfully behind from middle level up. That's why we get the kind of bureacracy where the tenured clerks practically doing nothing whiling away time while the underpaid managers using their authorities to get as much as they can. Of course, this is a wanton generalization because I know a lot of G-men and women who really care and sacrifice for their work but sadly they usually are the most stressed and will soon go abroad or will be pirated by private corporations.

Now how can you expect, for example, a BIR or Customs examiner earning P 15,000 gross with authority to recommend closure of a multibillion plant or business. Of course, a couple of millions or so is a cheap option for the businessmen to keep their profits coming.

Here's one reason why a lot of business families are entering into politics - simply to protect their business. It's not the meager salaries that they will get but the protection of millions they have invested. And they can also use the same authority to harass their competitors. Or they can buy politicians with contributions to their campaigns usually giving to not just one candidate but betting on those who have chances of winning.

Gee. I guess I can't work there then as a weatherman. I have no time for politics. I work for the love of weather and other Earth sciences. I figured if for some reason we move there, I might try to find a job as a weatherman with PAGASA.
