According to the 2015 report of the Commission on Audit on the salaries, allowances, discretionary funds and other benefits received by government officials in 2014, Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales received P2.2 million as her salary.

The COA report was sent to President Noynoy Aquino, Speaker Feliciano Belmonte Jr. and Senate President Franklin Drilon.

It showed that members of the judiciary are some of the highly paid in the government, with millions being alloted to Supreme Court Justices and Constitutional Commissions heads.

However, despite this Aquino even increased their salaries. Forget the nurses & other government employees who Aquino declined to increase their salaries.

According to the report, Justice Presbitero Velasco was the highest paid member of the judiciary, taking home a total of P6.2 million, while Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno received P4.6 million.

Several other Justices also received millions.

Justices, judges and court officials are receiving every month a Special Allowance for the Judiciary (SAJ) that is equivalent to 100 percent of their basic monthly salary rate.

The SAJ is funded from legal fees and other collections. RTC judges get a basic salary of P73,000, representation and transportation (RATA) allowance of P20,000, personal economic relief allowance (PERA) of P2,000, extraordinary allowance (EOA) of P10,000 and special allowance for the judiciary (SAJ) of P25,000.

Metropolitan Trial Court Judges get a basic salary of P67,000, RAT allowance of P18,000, PERA of P2,000, EOA of P9,000 and SAJ od P24,000.

For Municipal Trial Court in Cities (MTCC) judges, they get P62,000 basic salary, RATA allowance of P17,000, PERA of P2,000, EOA of P7,000 and SAJ of P23,000.

Meanwhile Municipal Trial Court (MTC) judges get P58,000 basic salary , P15,000 RATA allowance, P2,000 PERA, P7,000 EOA and P22,000 SAJ.

In Cebu City, Regional Trial Court judges are receiving P20,0000 each from the Cebu City government and P12,000 from the Cebu provincial government.

MTCC judges and appellate court justices in Cebu City also receive any allowance from the local government unit.

Only Court of Appeals Executive Justice Gabriel Ingles refused to accept an allowance from the LGU, saying he wants to maintain independence “in reality and public perception.”

The grant of allowances by Local Government Units (LGU) is practiced by those that can afford it. But the Supreme Court is reviewing the setup amid questions raised that a stipend would affect judicial independence.

Court employees, on the other hand, are receiving allowances like the Judiciary Development Fund (JDF) which amounts to P2,000 to P3,000 every month, clothing allowance (P4,000), Christmas bonus (depends on the rank), and anniversary bonus (P13,000).
