From the Presidential Spokesperson – On the creation of trust fund for BI employees


The President recognizes the hard work and sacrifices made by government employees, including those of the Bureau of Immigration employees.

The Chief Executive has directed the creation of a trust fund for the payment of salaries and overtime to BI employees subject to such guidelines to be issued by the Department of Justice, the Department of Budget and Management and the Commission on Audit, which will be sourced from the express lane fees and charges under the Department of Justice (DOJ)-BI Special Provision No. 1, “Immigration Fees and Collections,” Volume I-A, page 1062.

This clearly shows that the President places the welfare of those in the bureaucracy among his top priority.
