MANILA – The Department of Budget and Management (DBM) and the Department of Education (DepEd) have announced the release of the 2023 Performance-Based Bonus (PBB) for qualified teaching and non-teaching personnel.

Presidential Communications Office Undersecretary and Press Officer Claire Castro said on Wednesday that under the new system, DepEd employees who achieve a total assessment score of 80 points will receive a bonus equivalent to 52 percent of their monthly basic salary.

“Sa ilalim ng sistema, maaaring makatanggap ng 52% ng kanilang monthly basic salary ang mga DepEd personnel na magkakamit ng 80 points na total score sa assessment. Ang 2023 Performance-Based Bonus na ito ay mas mataas kumpara sa 45.5% at 48.75% noong 2021 at 2022,” Castro said in a Palace press briefing.

Castro noted that the increase from 45.5 percent and 48.75 percent in 2021 and 2022, respectively, reflects the government’s continuing commitment to the welfare of education personnel.

“Ang Performance-Based Bonus ay isang hakbang ng pamahalaan upang mapanatili ang dignidad at ang kapakanan ng mga education personnel na patuloy ang pagtatrabaho upang pahusayin ang kalidad ng edukasyon sa bansa,” she said.
