Calida is the second highest paid gov't officials in 2019 - COA


Solicitor General Jose Calida is the second highest paid government official in 2019 with P16 million salaries and allowances received, according to the Commission on audit. 

Former United Coconut Planters Bank (UCPB) president Higinio “Joey” Macadaeg Jr. and Solicitor General Jose Calida got the highest amount of salaries and allowances for their government jobs in 2019 with P20 million and P16 million respectively, a Commission on Audit (COA) report showed.

Based on COA’s 2019 report on salaries and allowances released this month, Macadaeg topped the field with P20.4 million worth of earnings from salaries and allowances even if he quit his post back in July 2019 due to personal reasons.

Calida, who ranked second, earned P16.9 million.

A close third is Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Governor Benjamin Diokno with P15.4 million.

The rest of those in the top 10 list of government officials with the highest earnings came from the BSP and UCPB, making Calida the lone OSG official in the top 10 list.
