Marcos made the announcement in his speech during the celebration of GOCC day at the Malacañan Palace on Tuesday, Sept. 16.

"I have approved the Compensation and Position Classification System (CPCS) II that will increase the salaries of GOCC employees. Well-deserved naman," Marcos said.

The President also announced that he approved the provision of medical allowance for GOCC employees.

"I have also approved the provision of a tiered medical allowance for GOCC employees depending on the capacity, of course, of the GOCC," he said.

He clarified that for corporations that had already implemented the earlier Compensation and Position Classification System (CPCS) 1, the adjustments will apply retroactively.
