GCG addresses CPCS issues of the GOCC sector

THE Governance Commission for GOCCs (GCG) launched its series of dialogues with governmentowned and -controlled corporations (GOCCs) to address pertinent Compensation and Position Classification System (CPCS) concerns ranging from job grades and step increments to clarifications on its implementation.

In a statement, GCG said it introduced this interchange in line with its thrust of a “dynamic and proactive” approach in CPCS issues resolution.

To date, the commission has met with 29 out of 38 GOCCs with CPCS appeals.

“Our target is to meet the concerned officers and resolve GOCC sector concerns within the year. We are their partners in the efficient implementation of the CPCS, and we want to make it beneficial for them. By hearing issues that are specific to their agency, we can provide tailorfit resolutions, which will make it easier for them to adapt to the new CPCS,” Chairman Alex Quiroz said.

“This is also a great channel for them to air reconsiderations to the commission, so that we may re-evaluate and make the necessary adjustments if needed,” he added.

The Governance Commission, as the oversight body for GOCCs, shall continue to work with the GOCC sector and relevant stakeholders to standardize the GOCC compensation system that provides equal pay for work of equal value.

Just last week, the GCG kicked off its review of GOCCs, which could be recommended for abolition or privatization in line with the bureaucratic rightsizing agenda of the Marcos administration.

Quiroz earlier said that the agency can only recommend “subject to approval of the Office of the President.”
