“(President Duterte’s) performance is very poor among our ranks, especially on our calls for salary increase. While the military enjoys their 50-percent salary increase, government employees receiving salary grade one only got a P20-increase,” said Social Welfare Employees Association of the Philippines (SWEAP) President Alan Balaba.
