Government workers will receive the remaining half of their 13th month pay and P5,000 cash gift beginning Nov. 15, Budget Secretary Florencio Abad said yesterday.
Pursuant to Budget Circular 2010-01, the Department of Budget and Management
(DBM) has released P12.8 billion to fund the balance of benefits. The first half of the 13th month pay had been disbursed last May.
State workers will also get more than half of their 13th month pay because of basic salary adjustments under the Salary Standardization Law III. The DBM will release an additional P2.1 billion to fund the adjustment. The 13-month pay is equivalent to one-month salary while the P5,000 cash gift applies across the board.
All government employees with the exemption of consultants and job-order workers will receive the 13th month pay and the cash gift.
