Department of Budget and Management (DBM) Secretary Amenah "Mina" F. Pangandaman has confirmed that qualified government personnel will receive their mid-year bonus starting May 15 this year.

 

“I am pleased to announce that our civil servants will receive their mid-year bonus this year. We know that this is eagerly awaited by our fellow government employees and will significantly assist them in meeting their daily needs,” Secretary Pangandaman said.

 

“As always, we remind all government agencies and offices to ensure the prompt and timely release of bonuses to their employees, in accordance with our existing rules and regulations. This will begin on May 15,” the Budget Secretary added.

 

The mid-year bonus is equal to one month’s basic pay of entitled government workers as of May 15. It is given to eligible personnel who have worked at least four months from July 1 of the previous year to May 15 of the current year.

 

The personnel must still be employed in the government as of May 15 of the current year and should have received at least a satisfactory performance rating in the most recent rating period or applicable performance appraisal period.

 

The mid-year bonus will be provided to all civilian personnel, including regular, casual, and contractual employees. This includes appointive or elective positions, both full-time and part-time, in the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches, Constitutional Commissions, other Constitutional Offices, State Universities and Colleges (SUCs), and Government-Owned or -Controlled Corporations (GOCCs) covered by the Compensation and Position Classification System (CPCS), as well as local government units (LGUs).

 

The mid-year bonus isn’t just for civilian personnel; it also extends to military and uniformed personnel. This includes members of the Armed Forces of the Philippines under the Department of National Defense, as well as personnel from the Philippine National Police, Philippine Public Safety College, Bureau of Fire Protection, Bureau of Jail Management and Penology, Bureau of Corrections, Philippine Coast Guard, and National Mapping and Resource Information Authority. They’re all eligible to receive this bonus.

 

The allocation of mid-year bonuses for personnel in provinces, cities, municipalities, and barangays will be determined by their respective sanggunian, subject to policy conditions for the purpose under DBM Budget Circular No. 2017-2.

 

Moreover, the appropriations for the grant of the mid-year bonus were comprehensively released to the concerned agencies at the start of the fiscal year. Hence, the provision of said benefits to the qualified personnel is already under the jurisdiction of the concerned agencies.

 

 

 

Kinumpirma ni Department of Budget and Management (DBM) Secretary Amenah "Mina" F. Pangandaman na ang mga kwalipikadong kawani ng gobyerno ay makatatanggap ng kanilang mid-year bonus simula ika-15 ng Mayo ngayong taon.

 

"I am pleased to announce that our civil servants will receive their mid-year bonus this year. We know that this is eagerly awaited by our fellow government employees and will significantly assist them in meeting their daily needs,” pahayag ni Secretary Pangandaman.

 

"As always, we remind all government agencies and offices to ensure the prompt and timely release of bonuses to their employees, in accordance with our existing rules and regulations. This will begin on May 15,” dagdag ng Budget Secretary.

 

Ang mid-year bonus ay katumbas ng isang buwang basic pay ng mga kwalipikadong kawani ng gobyerno as of Mayo 15. Ito ay ibinibigay sa mga karapat-dapat na mga kawani na nagtrabaho ng hindi bababa sa apat na buwan mula Hulyo 1 ng nakaraang taon hanggang Mayo 15 ng kasalukuyang taon.

 

Ang kawani ay dapat na nasa serbisyo pa rin ng gobyerno mula Mayo 15 ng kasalukuyang taon at dapat ay nakatanggap ng hindi bababa sa satisfactory performance rating sa pinakahuling rating period, o naaangkop na panahon ng performance appraisal.

 

Ibibigay ang mid-year bonus sa mga civilian personnel, kasama ang mga regular, casual, at contractual employees. Kasama rin dito ang mga appointive o elective positions, maging full-time o part-time, sa mga sangay ng Executive, Legislative, at Judicial branches, Constitutional Commissions, ibang pang Constitutional Offices, State Universities and Colleges (SUCs), at Government-Owned or -Controlled Corporations (GOCCs) na sakop ng Compensation and Position Classification System (CPCS), pati na rin ang mga local government units (LGUs).

 

Hindi lamang para sa mga civilian personnel ang mid-year bonus; ito rin ay para sa mga military at uniformed personnel. Kasama dito ang mga miyembro ng Armed Forces of the Philippines sa ilalim ng Department of National Defense, pati na rin ang mga personnel mula sa Philippine National Police, Philippine Public Safety College, Bureau of Fire Protection, Bureau of Jail Management and Penology, Bureau of Corrections, Philippine Coast Guard, at National Mapping and Resource Information Authority. Lahat sila ay eligible na tumanggap ng bonus na ito.

 

Ang alokasyon ng mid-year bonus para sa mga kawani sa mga lalawigan, lungsod, munisipalidad, at barangay ay itatalaga ng kanilang mga sanggunian, na napapailalim sa mga kondisyon ng patakaran para sa layunin sa ilalim ng DBM Budget Circular No. 2017-2.

 

Bukod dito, ang pondo para sa pagkakaloob ng mid-year bonus ay kumpletong inilabas sa mga kinauukulang ahensya sa simula ng fiscal year. Kaya, ang pagbibigay ng nasabing benepisyo sa mga kwalipikadong kawani ay nasa hurisdiksyon na ng mga kinauukulang ahensya.
