Are government pensions considered as prohibited double compensation?
The Constitution clarifies the legal nature of retirement benefits for public servants. Pensions or gratuities granted by the government are explicitly protected from the rule against double pay. They shall not be considered as prohibited additional, double, or indirect compensation. This vital clarification for retirees is located in Article IX, B, Section 8 1987 Philippine Constitution. “Pensions or gratuities shall not be considered as additional, double, or indirect compensation.” 06-Mar-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
