In continued recognition of the invaluable service rendered by its workforce, Brokenshire College, in partnership with the Brokenshire College Faculty and Staff Union (BC-FASU), proudly upholds its commitment to providing equitable and competitive compensation to all employees under the 2022 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA).

₱13,500 for non-degree holders, ₱16,875 for bachelor’s degree holders, ₱21,093.75 for master’s degree holders, and ₱26,367.19 for doctorate degree holders.

Beyond the college’s internal agreement, Brokenshire College has also implemented government-mandated salary adjustments through the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) – Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board (RTWPB) wage orders.

• Wage Order No. RBXI-22, which provided a 30 pesos salary increase effective March 6, 2024, was fully implemented, including retroactive pay released in January 2025.
  
  
• Wage Order No. RBXI-23, introducing an additional ₱29 daily wage increase effective March 7, 2025, was likewise implemented with retroactive pay in September 2025.
  
  

In addition to these government mandates, Brokenshire College continues to fulfill the institutional provisions of Article VI, Section 3 of the CBA, ensuring that the agreed institutional increase which is 1,000 pesos in year one and ₱2,500 institutional increase for the third year has been implemented for all employees. The College’s consistent implementation of wage enhancements reflects its steadfast effort to uphold fairness, sustainability, and transparency in compensation practices.

This unwavering commitment to fair remuneration demonstrates Brokenshire College’s mission to provide a living wage that goes beyond the minimum standards set by the government. A testament to the institution’s faith-driven ethos and its continuing dedication to the well-being and dignity of its employees.

The story of the Brokenshire College Faculty and Staff Union (BC-FASU) is one of courage, collaboration, and transformation. Since its establishment in 2012, the union has stood as a voice for the employees—advocating for fairness, dignity, and the continuous improvement of working conditions. The early years were marked by challenges, as the union courageously confronted management decisions and proposed strategic reforms to safeguard employee welfare. These were the years of struggle—years that tested conviction but also forged solidarity and trust among the workforce.

Through perseverance and dialogue, BC-FASU has come a long way. What began as an advocacy movement has evolved into a recognized partner in institutional governance. Today, the union holds official seats in the Management Committee (MANCOM), a testament to the maturing partnership between labor and management. This recognition, as outlined in Administrative Manual Article VI, Section 20, affirms the value of shared leadership—one that allows both sides to have a full grasp of institutional concerns while working together to advance Brokenshire College’s mission and to uplift the lives of its employees.

The union’s active participation is also reinforced in the most recent Human Resource Management and Development (HRMD) Manual. Under Article VII, Section 3.6, at least two (2) union members must be part of the HRMD Committee; Section 3.8 ensures two (2) union representatives in the Discipline Committee; and Section 3.9 mandates two (2) union representatives in the Committee on Decorum and Investigation (CODI). These inclusions emphasize the College’s continuing commitment to transparency, representation, and shared accountability in decision-making processes.

From challenge to collaboration, from advocacy to partnership—BC-FASU’s journey reflects the evolving spirit of Brokenshire College as a community that values fairness, dialogue, and mutual respect. Together, management and the union continue to build a workplace that not only strives for institutional excellence but also champions the well-being and dignity of every employee.
