President Noynoy Aquino’s Salary
If you’re curious about the salary of the current President of the Philippines, then here is the info you need — President Noynoy Aquino will be receiving P95,000/month.
For those who think this amount is too low for all the work demands and responsibilities of the chief executive of the land, know that his immediate predecessor President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo received P57,750/month.
This salary increase is brought about by Executive Order No. 900, signed by Arroyo just days before her term ended, which implements an increase in the basic pay in all government salary grades. The President’s salary is equivalent to Salary Grade 33 (SG 33), the salary grade for the highest position in the Philippine government.
One cannot help but wonder then why a lot of people vie for top government positions when the salaries are mere fractions of the pay top executives in private companies receive while the responsibilities and pressures are more than sky-high. To genuinely help the people? Nah, that sounds like a broken campaign record.

the president and other top officials of the land get much much more than their salaries. maliit lang ang salary nila compared sa lahat ng “other benefits” na nakukuha nila.
