How much is their Salary?!

[Ry_Tower]

I don't know if this is correct but AFAIK;

Maj-yor (problem) - P42K
Tongressman - P50K
Sin-ator - P57K
Price-sident - P64K

or ito pa rin - How much do Philippine government officials make in salary? | Finance Manila - Philippine stock market, business, tech, travel, life in the metro

[xninjax]

I think this was already updated:

If I remember correctly, the president now makes around 95K monthly

op kurs naman!!!

Singapore Prime Minister: P125,000,000.00 per year.

To Ensure Excellent Performance.

To prevent Corruption.

[uls]

i don't think higher salary will prevent corruption here

sa president, VP, senator, congressman level -- those people are already rich to begin with

like the Arroyo family is already rich but they just want more money

a higher salary will not have prevented them from stealing public money

nasa tao yan

if you have a leader who is honest and has good intentions, kahit maliit ang sweldo hindi nanakaw yan

[111prez]

salary?

wala yan sa perks at extras tulad ng pork barrel, free gasoline, free transportation, allowances, etc

lokohan lang yang salary na yan

dapat i-declara lahat nang nakukuha para hindi tayo hypocrito sa "liit" ng sahod na yan

[uls]

and aside from the free stuff, the positions they hold present opportunities to make lots of money

kaya halos magpatayan mga yan tuwing election campaign

[vinj]

but of course they didnt spend millions on election campaigns for the salary

Oh crap... really??? Noooo... all my lifelong beliefs, ruined.

like the Arroyo family is already rich but they just want more money

Actually, they may have been landed but prior to GMA's attaining REAL presidential power, their family wealth was really on the decline. They're the type who squandered their landholdings and never really got off good in business. (Trip to Europe? Sell some land and travel.) Mike A and GMA really resuscitated things for them, big time.

Money talks... that's why we see all kinds of characters come election time.

[oliver1013]

And of course the power that comes with it..

Mas masarap sana kung wala nang senate at congress, unlimited POWER! in the hands of one man..

[uls]

Oh crap... really??? Noooo... all my lifelong beliefs, ruined.

haha

Captain Obvious ba?

yan kasi ang topic eh

don't know for what reason the topic was started

Things are just so screwed up.

I pity the schoolteachers who are supposed to educate and help solve the problem of the utter stupidty afflicting a lot of us Pinoys, work long hours in bad conditions, do election duty, etc... and yet the half-witted congressman (who wouldn't even dare educate their offspring in our public system) can get away with highway robbery.

Who has the power to improve the salary ranges? Congress? The executive branch? If it was congress, obviously they don't really care as they are getting their fill from other means and allowances.

OT: Exactly the same words i got from my teenage cousin in the US who got his GF pregnant on their first try. Hehe.

Even if a higher salary will not prevent corruption, at least then you can get a higher class of businessperson in certain appointed posts if you're willing to pay them more money.

As they always say: You get what you pay for.

I have to agre on this one. Proven in our education system even in local scenario.

Here, public school teachers are paid more than privately-owned Basic educ schools. Recent science quiz bees and competition shows public schools performing better than private ones. A stark contrast to 10-15 years ago where the salary was almost reversed.

However, politics is really different. Plus a P125M salary a year can't still get you elected here. AFAIK a president needs billions of pesos as war chest during the election to have a chance to win. Papano nga naman babawiin yun.

hindi ba yung mga pinoy na nanalo sa international math competition galing private school?

I was talking about local scenario - as in here in my place in the province schools - and not in MM where it's different.

Hope that clarifies it.

^same here. Dati the best and the brightest of the town went to the local private school. Ngayon sa nearby cities na sila or sa local public school.
