Renato Solidum Jr., secretary of the Philippines' Department of Science and Technology (DOST), was the highest-paid official in President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s Cabinet in 2025, receiving total compensation of ₱6.66 million (roughly US$115,000), according to the Commission on Audit's annual Report on Salaries and Allowances released on 6 May. The figure was ₱281,000 higher than his 2024 pay and comprised basic salary, allowances, bonuses, and discretionary expenses. The ranking highlights the varied compensation levels across the Philippine Cabinet, with some secretaries receiving lower totals because they resigned or were appointed partway through the year.
