The Philippine government is making strides towards reforming the military pension system. Budget Secretary Benjamin Diokno, in collaboration with other government agencies, is pushing for the standardization of retirement age and mandatory pension contributions for military personnel.
Currently, military personnel in the Philippines enjoy various retirement ages depending on their rank and years of service. This lack of uniformity has created inconsistencies and disparities in pension benefits. It also poses challenges for financial planning and budgeting purposes, both for the government and for individual military retirees.
To address this issue, the government is proposing the standardization of retirement age across all ranks. This means that regardless of rank or years in service, military personnel would retire at a predetermined age. This move aims to promote fairness and equality in the pension system, ensuring that all retirees are treated equally and receive pension benefits based on a set standard.
In addition to the retirement age standardization, the government is also considering the implementation of mandatory pension contributions for military personnel. Currently, military retirees receive their pensions from the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS). However, the government believes that pension funds would be more sustainable and sufficient if contributions were made by the military personnel themselves during their active service.
The proposed pension reforms are not without their challenges. Some argue that standardizing retirement age may deprive experienced and capable military personnel from serving longer and contributing their expertise to the country. However, proponents of the reform believe that standardization would encourage a smoother transition of leadership within the military and create opportunities for younger officers to assume command and gain experience.
The introduction of mandatory pension contributions also faces resistance from some military personnel who may view it as an additional financial burden. However, the government believes that such contributions would ensure the long-term sustainability of the pension system, providing retirees with more substantial benefits in the future.
Budget Secretary Diokno emphasizes that the military pension reform aims to protect the welfare of military personnel and their families. The proposed changes seek to address the existing inconsistencies and inefficiencies in the pension system, ensuring that military retirees receive fair and adequate benefits.
The government is actively working on developing a comprehensive plan for the military pension reform. Various agencies, including the Department of National Defense, AFP, GSIS, and the Department of Budget and Management, are collaborating to create a feasible and sustainable system that would benefit both the military personnel and the Philippine government.
In conclusion, the push for military pension reforms in the Philippines is a step towards creating a fair and sustainable pension system for military personnel. The standardization of retirement age and the introduction of mandatory pension contributions aim to promote equality, efficiency, and long-term security for military retirees. The government is committed to working closely with concerned agencies to ensure the successful implementation of these reforms for the benefit of all stakeholders.

Kau po pal nag approve ng increase sa pension nung panahon ni pres. Duterte ngayun kau naninise
Kahit ano pa e comment at sabihin nyo d nila kayo ma fe feel kasi petus palang yan sila mayaman na yan! Kahit sa panaginip di nila ranas nag hirap, kaya wagna kayu mag expect tanggapin nyo nalang ng maluwalhate hahahaha
Bakit di yung pork barrel ang tangalin
Diokno seems successful in diverting attention of the public that the cause of fiscal collapse is the military pension away from the truth—corruption and those receiving millions of pesos from the gov’t!
Section 8 ARTICLE 16 ; 1987 CONSTITUTION. The State shall, from to time to time, review to upgrade the pensions and other benefits due to retirees of both the government and the private sectors.
Sir, pakiusap lang wag niyo pong gisingin ang mga natutulog na tigre sa aming mga puso. Sapat na na ialay namin ang aming buhay, oras, kabataan, at pamilya para danasin pa namin ang mas mabigat na pasakit para sa amin at sa aming mga pamilya. Magsundalo po muna kayo para malaman at maramdaman niyo kung tama ba mga pinagsasabi mo na puro theory. Hindi mo alam ang nangyayari sa "ground". Madaming buhay na ang nagbuwis para sa ating bayan. Alam ko matalino kayo, sana magamit niyo din po ang sentido common ninyo. Kung naging sundalo ka, o sundalo ang asawa o anak mo hindi mo siguro masasabi o maiisip yan. Mahirap ilatag sayo ang bawat minutong hirap na dinaranas namin bilang mga sundalo gawa ng "military secrecy." Pag isipan niyo po mabuti ang pinagsasasabi ninyo at mag ingat po kayo.
-Hanggang sa muli,
Sundalong Babaeng Pilipino

Di ba naisip ni Senator Diokno na ung mga retirado Military ay mga matandana na at di na kayang matatrabaho/or maghanap buhay tapos babawasan pa ung pension at pataas na pataas pa naman ung mga bibilihin. Baka magiging sanhi yan na ung nasa serbisyo pa ay mangungurakot para makapag ipon cla bago magretiro. Sana pag isipan muna ng maigi ni Senator Diokno yan
Maau man nang martilyuhon nang imong ulo diokno

Malaking galit daw ni Benjamin Diokno sa AFP, kaya nakikialam siya sa mga benefits ng mga active military personnels, at sa mga retiradong Military Uniform personnels.
Sana magka gyera na!!! Pinas kontra China., dahil pag natuloy ang gyera sa Pinas, kami na mga retiradong sundalo, ay handa parin makipagdigma sa mga dayuhang nanakop ng ating teritoryo.
Kaya ipapakita namin kay Diokno kung papaano kami tumulong dumipensa sa aming bansa laban sa mga mangaaping Kumonistang Tsino, na katulad ni Diokno.
kukulaps yung budget dahil sa mga project na palpak..
bawasan dapat sa sahod ng politiko kasi may mga kurakot tpos taas pa ang sahod.haha
bka mapunta yung pundo sa bulsa ng politiko.. yan seguro goal nila.. mga project nila na nag colapse…
Tama si Diokno to push for military pension reforms standardizing age, mandating contributions.
Sang-ayon ako kay Diokno to push for military pension reforms standardizing age, mandating contributions

Paanu mo nasabi na mas mataas Ang Buhay ng sundalo IB nga ngreretire my mga sakit na at halos lahat ngretire na my sakit dhil bugbug sa kbundukan bugbug sa bakbakan…paanu nging rediculos Ang life Ng enlisted personal…
Bkit mo pinag initan ang mga MUP’s ha joke jokeno
A person with a classic CRAB MENTALITY. How can he even compare MUPs to other jobs. Even he himself is not aware of the risks and sacrifices that the MUPs give their country. His points are not even justifiable. MUPs lives and future are at risk if people like him will continue to be seated in that posts. Mr. DIOKNO, in other countries they give importance and compensate their MUPs well. I don't know where you have taken this irrational idea. Pensions and salaries should always be appropriate to the current economic situation para makatulong sa mga MUPs at hindi makaperwisyo.
Di apektado ang may mga mataas na ranggo syempre malaki pa rin sahod nila na matitira may mgabkonti maapektohan yung officers na maraming loan.. ang pinaka makakaramdam nyan ay ang mga nasa non officers real talk.. pede sa sahod na lang ni DIOKNO yan kaltasan total malaki ang annual nya na sahod kaya di sya apektado nito.
ALAM NYO Po BA YUNG Double PAY mr? Si Pres Duterte kaya Po nya dinoble Ang sahod military dahil SA URI NG TRABAHO Nila dahil mahirap ,anytime pwede mamatay at magkasakit. Madaling araw dumuduty. Ok nakKatamad nayan sila magbantay sa Gabi hahaha bantayan nyo na SARILI NYO.
