SCHEME FOR LAWYERS IN THE MINISTRY OF JUSTICE
WHEREAS, Presidential Decree No.

in the Ministry of Justice and the bureaus and offices; and
WHEREAS, the same Degree provided that pending the provision of
adequate funds for the full implementation of such rates, the positions
mentioned in the Decree may be upgraded on a gradual basis depending on

NOW, THEREFORE, I, FERDINAND E. MARCOS, President of the Philippines,
by virtue of the powers vested in me by law, do hereby order and
direct:
Section 1. The salary rates provided for in P.D. No.
1726 and Letter of Implementation No. 127 for all lawyer positions with
titles peculiar to the Ministry of Justice in the National Prosecution
Service, Legal Staff, Technical Staff and the Office of the Minister of
the Ministry of Justice and shall be implemented to the extent of funds
available as provided in Sec. 5 hereof: Provided, however, That for
positions falling within the Career Executive Service, the
implementation of the salary increases authorized under P.D. No. 1726
and Letter of Implementation No. 127 shall be subject to the following
conditions:
a.
The positions in the Career Executive Service and their equivalents in
the Ministry of Justice shall not exceed the maximum of their
respective ranks as provided by law.
b. The salary
of a position shall not be increased beyond one salary step below that
of the position immediately above it in the organizational hierarchy.
Sec. 2. All lawyers positions in the commissions,
boards, bureaus, and offices under the Ministry of Justice covered by
said Decree and Letter of Implementation and positions of NBI agents
shall be extended a twenty percent (20%) increase of the actual basic

Government.

needed to carry out this Executive Order shall be formulated and issued
