G-2025-136: Mid Year Bonus of Resigned Barangay Officials (subsequently hired in NGA)

Sender: Dear Sir/Madam,I am respectfully writing to seek clarification regarding the entitlement to the mid-year bonus of former Barangay Officials who are now employed in the Department of Education (DepEd). Two of my colleagues were formerly serving as Barangay Officials: one as a Barangay Secretary for 16 years and the other as a Barangay Treasurer for 6 years. Both resigned from their respective barangay positions in February 2025 and were subsequently hired in March 2025 for plantilla positions in DepEd.They have inquired with DepEd regarding their eligibility for the mid-year bonus for the calendar year 2025. However, they were informed that they are not entitled to receive the bonus, on the grounds that their prior positions as Barangay Secretary and Treasurer were not considered "permanent" plantilla positions.Based on existing guidelines, including relevant memos and DBM Circulars, it is our understanding that the mid-year bonus is not exclusively limited to plantilla positions, but also covers personnel whose status may be coterminous, contractual, or elective, provided they meet the service length and performance criteria. Given this, we would like to clarify the following:Are former Barangay Secretaries and Treasurers who served for several years (16 and 6 years, respectively), and who resigned in February 2025, entitled to a proportionate mid-year bonus for the services rendered from January to February 2025?If they are entitled, which agency or office is responsible for granting the said bonus—the concerned Barangay or the DepEd?Does the length of service or nature of their appointment in the Barangay (non-plantilla, but officially appointed) affect their eligibility?We are respectfully requesting your authoritative guidance on this matter to ensure that our colleagues receive the proper compensation they may be entitled to under existing laws and regulations.Thank you for your time and consideration. We hope for your favorable response. ... See MoreSee Less

BAKIT WALA KANG MID YEAR BONUS?

(Ito ang mga pwedeng dahilan)1. Hindi ka kasama sa mga pwedeng makatanggap. Sino ba ang pwedeng makatanggap?All positions for civilian personnel, whether regular, casual, or contractual in nature, appointive or elective, full-time or part-time, now existing or hereafter created in the Executive, Legislative and Judicial Branches, the Constitutional Commissions and other Constitutional Offices, SUCs, and GOCCs covered by the Compensation and Position Classification System (CPCS) under RA No. 6758, as amended by Congress Joint Resolution No. 1, series of 1994, and No. 4, series of 2009, and in LGUs; and,Military personnel of the Armed Forces of the Philippines under the Department of National Defense and uniformed personnel of the Philippine National Police, Philippine Public Safety College, Bureau of Fire Protection, and Bureau of Jail Management and Penology of the Department of the Interior and Local Government; Philippine Coast Guard of the Department of Transportation; and National Mapping and Resource Information Authority of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources.Kung hindi ka kabilang sa nasa itaas, wala kang Mid Year Bonus. 2. Wala ka pang 4-months or 120 days sa government service. 3. Nagresign, nagretire o wala ka na sa government service as of May 15.4. Lower than “at least satisfactory” ang performance rating mo. 5. You were found guilty by final and executory judgement. 6. Though rarely happens, baka wala kayong pondo para dito. 7. Baka lang hindi pa nareleased yung bonus nyo. Ang Mid Year Bonus ay pwedeng bayaran “not earlier than May 15”. Ibig sabihin pwede itong bayaran mula May 15 onwards.#MidYearBonus#NoMidYearBonus#gabotaf ... See MoreSee Less
