“That’s four tranches until 2027,” Pangandaman said.

The yearly salary increase for civilian government workers was pursuant to Executive Order 64, which was signed by President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. in August 2024.

Marcos' EO 64 states that the updated Salary Schedule shall be implemented in national government agencies in four tranches, with the first implementation on January 1, 2024; the second on January 1, 2025; the third on January 1, 2026; and the fourth and final tranche beginning on January 1, 2027.
