The Supreme Court says the Philippine National Bank employees are able to prove their entitlement to their cost of living allowance and special amelioration allowances
MANILA, Philippines – The Supreme Court reaffirmed a Court of Appeals and the Pasay Regional Trial Court decision that said that the Philippine National Bank should pay its former and incumbent officers and current employees their cost of living allowance and special amelioration allowance.
“PNB was given several opportunities to show how respondents were not entitled to their monetary claims, or how it has no duty to pay the same. However, instead of using these opportunities to present evidence, PNB insisted on employing delays, filing unnecessary pleadings, and asking for several postponements,” the SC decision read.
The Higher Court also said that the employees were able to prove their entitlement to their COLA and other allowances. In their petition, they argued that prior to the enactment of Republic Act No. 6758, otherwise known as the “Salary Standardization Law” they were receiving allowances and COLA equivalent to 40% of their basic salary, or P300 whichever is higher.
