GOOD news for government employees: the Department of Budget and Management is set to release your year-end bonus and P5,000 cash gift early November 2025.

 

“Pursuant to Budget Circular No. 2024-3, the year-end bonus and P5,000 cash gift will be released with the first agency payroll of Nov. 2025,” DBM Secretary Amenah Pangandaman announced.

 

She said “the DBM is one with the President in ensuring that our public servants feel the warmth of our Bagong Pilipinas. Pinapahalagahan po natin ang sipag at kahusayan ng ating mga lingkod-bayan kaya naman, sinisiguro nating maibibigay sa tamang oras ang kanilang mga benepisyo.”

 

“We know how much government personnel look forward to this time of the year not just because it’s the season of giving, but because it’s a well-deserved recognition of their service and sacrifice,” added the Budget Secretary.

 

For fiscal year 2025, a total of ₱63.69 billion has been allocated for the year-end bonus of civilian and military or uniformed personnel, and ₱9.24 billion for the cash gift, covering over 1.85 million government workers all over the country.

 

The YEB, equivalent to one month of basic pay as of October 31, and the ₱5,000 cash gift, are given annually to reward the hard work and dedication of government workers nationwide. The agency ensures that all funds for the YEB and cash gift have been comprehensively released at the start of the fiscal year, allowing agencies to process and credit the benefits without delay.

 

Under DBM rules, employees who have rendered at least four months of service from January 1, and are still in government service as of October 31, are entitled to the YEB and CG.

 

The DBM has reminded all agencies to release the bonuses promptly and in accordance with existing budget circulars. (END)

Magandang balita para sa lahat ng empleyado ng gobyerno! Inihayag ng Department of Budget and Management (DBM) na maaga nitong ipamimigay ngayong Nobyembre 2025 ang year-end bonus at ₱5,000 cash gift.

 

“Pursuant to Budget Circular No. 2024-3, the year-end bonus and ₱5,000 cash gift will be released with the first agency payroll of Nov. 2025,” ani DBM Secretary Amenah Pangandaman.

 

Dagdag pa ng Kalihim, “the DBM is one with the President in ensuring that our public servants feel the warmth of our Bagong Pilipinas. Pinapahalagahan po natin ang sipag at kahusayan ng ating mga lingkod-bayan kaya naman, sinisiguro nating maibibigay sa tamang oras ang kanilang mga benepisyo.”

 

Ayon pa kay Secretary Pangandaman, “We know how much government personnel look forward to this time of the year not just because it’s the season of giving, but because it’s a well-deserved recognition of their service and sacrifice.”

 

Para sa fiscal year 2025, may kabuuang ₱63.69 bilyon ang inilaan para sa year-end bonus ng mga civilian at uniformed personnel, at ₱9.24 bilyon naman para sa cash gift, na sasaklaw sa mahigit 1.85 milyong empleyado ng gobyerno sa buong bansa.

 

Ang year-end bonus (YEB), na katumbas ng isang buwang basic pay base sa sahod noong Oktubre 31, at ang ₱5,000 cash gift, ay taunang ibinibigay bilang pagkilala sa pagsisikap at dedikasyon ng mga kawani ng gobyerno. Tiniyak ng DBM na nailabas na ang lahat ng pondo para rito sa simula pa lang ng taon upang mabilis na maiproseso ng mga ahensya ang pagbibigay ng benepisyo sa kanilang mga empleyado.

 

Ayon sa mga panuntunan ng DBM, ang mga empleyadong nakapagsilbi ng hindi bababa sa apat na buwan simula Enero 1, at nananatiling nasa serbisyo hanggang Oktubre 31, ay karapat-dapat tumanggap ng YEB at CG.

 

Pinaalalahanan din ng DBM ang lahat ng ahensya ng gobyerno na ipalabas ang mga bonus sa tamang oras at ayon sa itinakdang budget circulars. (END)
