Third Tranche of the EO 64 schedule, effective 1 Jan 2026 (DBM NBC 601). Salary Grades per the DBM Index of Occupational Services (2022). Figures are basic pay before Magna Carta allowances; LGU-employed midwives may be paid a percentage of these rates depending on the LGU's income class.
Magna Carta allowances lift the real total
Because midwives are public health workers under the Magna Carta (RA 7305), their actual monthly cash is above the basic SG figure once these are added:
- Hazard pay — for hazardous or remote posts
- Subsistence and laundry allowance
- PERA (₱2,000/month) plus the mid-year and year-end bonuses and the ₱5,000 cash gift
The exam behind this job: the Midwife Licensure Exam
Government midwife items require a PRC midwifery license from the Midwife Licensure Exam — five subjects over two days, with a 75% general rating and no subject below 50% to pass. PRC holds it twice a year (April and November in 2026).
