Public School Teachers To Receive Performance Based Bonus This November

DepEd Secretary has assurance to public schools teachers regarding their performance based bonus.

After a month delay, Department of Education Secretary Leonor M. Briones assured public school teachers that they will receive their performance based bonus (PBB) this November.

On Thursday, Briones said that the PBB was supposed to be released last month of October but due to thorough scrutiny by an inter-agency task force through Department of Budget, it was moved to November.

“Some 722,000 persons are going to get their PBB. They are all rated good. There are guidelines and different rates,” Briones said. This was during the held press conference at the Education Summit held at the SMX Convention Center, Mall of Asia Complex in Pasay City.

According to the secretary, teachers from Regions I, II, IV-A, V, IX, XI, XII CARAGA, and National Capital Region will compose the first batch of those who will receive the bonus.

On the other hand, the paperwork for Regions X and VI still needed to be signed, while Regions VII and VIII are pending for checking.

Regions III, IV-B and CAR have yet to file their documents.

The PBB can range from P5,000 to P35,000 depending on the performance of the teacher.

Under the Salary Standardization Law-3 enacted in 2009, PBB is part of the productivity based-incentive system (PBIS), however, it was only implemented since 2012 under the Executive Order 80 signed by then President Benigno Aquino III.

The other bonus is the productivity enhancement incentive or PEI amounting to P5,000 and given to all the employees and officials of the government.

The Teachers’ Dignity Coalition (TDC) earlier appealed to the Department of Education (DepEd) to release the PBB that should have been given last October based on the DepEd timeline.

“This PBB has always been an object of criticism in the system because of the usual delays in its release since it started in fiscal year 2012.” said Benjo Basas, TDC national chairperson.
