What are the rules regarding the salary of the President and Vice-President?
The compensation for the top executive officials is strictly regulated to maintain independence. Their salaries are determined by law and cannot be decreased during their time in office. Any approved increase in salary only takes effect after the current term expires. This prevents officials from instantly benefiting from raises they might have influenced. Article VII Section 6 1987 Philippine Constitution “SECTION 6. The President shall have an official residence. The salaries of the President and Vice-President shall be determined by law and shall not be decreased during their tenure. No increase in said compensation shall take effect until after the expiration of the term of the incumbent during which such increase was approved.” 03-Feb-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
