Marcos instructed both agencies to identify budgetary solutions to implement the hike while adhering to fiscal responsibilities.

Education Secretary Sonny Angara praised the President’s directive, calling it a “morale booster” for educators.

“This initiative highlights our shared commitment to empowering teachers and emphasizing their vital role in shaping the future of Filipino learners,” Angara said.

The SRI, an annual incentive for government employees, recognizes their dedication to delivering quality and responsive public service.
