RE: LETTER OF COURT OF APPEALS JUSTICE VICENTE S.E. VELOSO, A.M. No. 12-8-07-CA, June 16, 2015

Ruling: Salary is a compensation corresponding to the position’s “salary grade” under the “Salary Schedule.”
All covered positions or employees belonging to a particular “salary grade,” regardless of the department,
bureau, office, etc., to which they belong, shall receive the same “salary rate,” expressed as annual, in
pesos, as fixed under the “Salary Schedule”

Meanwhile, longevity pay is:

1. a monthly pay equivalent to 5% of monthly basic pay; chanRob lesvi rtual Lawli bra ry

2. Recipients are the Justices and Judges of courts; chanRoblesvirtual Lawlib ra ry

3. For each five years of continuous, efficient and meritorious service; chanRob lesvi rtua lLawl ibra ry

4. The service is to be rendered in the Judiciary; chanRoblesv irt ual Lawlib rary

5. In no case shall the total salary of each Justice or Judge, after his longevity pay is added, exceed
the salary of the Justice or Judge next in rank.

Ruling: No. The only service recognized for purposes of longevity pay under Section 42 of B.P. Blg. 129 is
service in the Judiciary, not service in any other branch of government. The COMELEC is an agency
independent of the Judiciary; hence, service in this agency cannot be considered as service rendered in
the Judiciary.

Cawad vs Abad, G.R. No. 207145, July 28, 2015

Ruling: No. A review of RA No. 7305 and its Revised IRR reveals that the law does not similarly impose such
condition on the grant of longevity pay to PHWs in the government service. As such, the DBM-CSC Joint
Circular effectively created a new imposition which was not otherwise stipulated in the law it sought to
interpret. The same must likewise be declared unenforceable.

PCSO vs COA Chair Pulido, G.R. No. 216776, April 19, 2016

Ruling: Yes. Upon the effectivity of R.A. No. 6758, GOCCs like the PCSO are included in the
Compensation and Position Classification System because Section 16 of the law repeals all laws, decrees,
executive orders, corporate charters, and other issuances or parts thereof, that exempt agencies from
the coverage of the System, or that authorize and fix position classification, salaries, pay rates or
allowances of specified positions, or groups of officials and employees or of agencies, which are
inconsistent with the System.

Ruling: All kinds of allowances are integrated into the prescribed standardized salary rates except: (1)
representation and transportation allowances (RATA); (2) clothing and laundry allowances; (3)
subsistence allowance of marine officers and crew on board government vessels; ( 4) subsistence
allowance of hospital personnel; (5) hazard pay; (6) allowance of foreign service personnel stationed
abroad; and (7) such other additional compensation not otherwise specified in Section 12 as may be
determined by the DBM.

AMANDO M. TETANGCO v. COA, GR No. 215061, Jun 06, 2017

Ruling: No. The nature of EME, however, was not the foremost reason for the disallowance, but the
limitations imposed by law in availing such allowance. The ex officio members of the Monetary Board
are entitled to EMEs to the extent of that appropriated in the General Appropriations Act (GAA). Since
the ex officio members already received their EMEs from their respective Departments (as appropriated
in the GAA), the additional EMEs from BSP are no longer necessary. It must be stressed that the ex
officio position is actually and, in legal contemplation, part of the principal office; hence, the ex officio
member is no longer entitled to receive any form of compensation, allowance or other euphemism from
the extended agency.In fact, the ex officio membership of the cabinet member in the Monetary Board
does not comprise 'another office' but rather annexed to or is required by the primary functions of his or
her official position as cabinet member.
