Rules on Giving Gifts to Government Employees during their Birthday

Question/Topic:

Okay lang po bang i-reimburse ang expenses sa cake? Pinapatanong daw po kasi ng VM namin na kada birthday daw po ng staff nila ay bibigyan ng cake pero irereimburse sa munisipyo. Allowed po ba yun?

No po unless its in your approved [Project Procurement Management Plan] (PPMP). In our agency, employees who are celebrating birthdays are given 500 pesos gift checks [from] Goldilocks. This is part of employees [additional] perk and with budget po in accordance with the guidelinces approved by [Management]. Thanks.
