Can the salary of the Chairman and Commissioners be decreased during their tenure?
The fundamental law guarantees that the salaries of the Chairman and Commissioners cannot be decreased. This protection applies throughout the entire duration of their official tenure in office. The provision aims to secure their independence by removing the threat of financial retaliation. This constitutional safeguard for their compensation is explicitly stated in Article IX, A, Section 3 1987 Philippine Constitution. “…and shall not be decreased during their tenure.” 06-Mar-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
