Makati City Rep. Luis Campos Jr. on Sunday welcomed President Marcos’ directive increasing from P18,000 to P20,000 the Service Recognition Incentive (SRI) for the country’s 1,011,800 public school teachers and non-teaching personnel.
Campos, vice chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations, said the SRI adjustment for the Department of Education (DepEd) could be funded by existing allocations under the 2024 national budget.
“We are all for the grant of additional cash incentives and allowances to our teachers and non-teaching staff in recognition of their hard work and to help them cope with the rising cost of living,” Campos said.
Campos said the MPBF – a lumpsum allocation in the budget – can be used to fund deficiencies in the authorized salaries, bonuses, allowances, and similar personnel benefits of national government employees.
“Our estimate is that only around P2 billion is needed to cover the increase in the SRI of our teachers and non-teaching staff from P18,000 to P20,000 each,” Campos said.Makati City Rep.
