The Duterte administration is doing something that has not
been done before in Philippine politics.
Majority of the Duterte cabinet have pledges to voluntarily
donate 75% of their monthly salary to aid the government’s fight against the
novel coronavirus 2019 disease (COVID-19), this according to Cabinet Secretary
Karlo Nograles.
“Nais din nating ipagbigay-alam na ang karamihan,
majority, ng mga miyembro ng gabinete ni Pangulong Duterte ay boluntaryong
ibibigay ang malaking bahagi —75%— ng kanilang buwanang sahod upang ilaan sa
mga programa ng gobyerno upang sugpuin ang COVID-19 sa loob ng panahong
pinapatupad ang Bayanihan Law,” Nograles said during the Inter-Agency Task
Force for Emerging Infectious Diseases public hearing.

(We wish to inform you that a majority of the members of the Cabinet of President Duterte will voluntarily give 75 percent of their monthly salaries to the programs of the government to end COVID-19 during the effectivity of the Bayanihan Law.)
Nograles was referring to the recently signed Republic Act
11469, or the “Bayabihan to Heal As One Law”, which also gave President Rodrigo
Roa Duterte additional powers to address the COVID-19 crisis.
Some off the Cabinet members, Nograles explains that they
will donate their salaries until December of this year just support the
anti-COVID-19 programs.
Nograles is one of those cabinet members that have pledged
to donate their salaries.
