President Marcos issued the directive on Monday, citing the need to expedite processing of the Performance-Based Bonus (PBB) for educators nationwide. The instruction marks a fresh push to ensure timely delivery of the financial incentive to eligible teachers and school personnel across the country.
Government agencies tasked with processing and distributing the bonus have been ordered to prioritize the initiative to meet the year-end timeline. The move is intended to provide educators with the additional compensation before the close of 2024.
The Performance-Based Bonus scheme is designed to reward public school teachers and education staff based on their performance metrics. The delayed disbursement has drawn attention from the education sector, with stakeholders urging faster processing to benefit the nation's teaching workforce.
With the presidential directive in place, relevant departments are expected to intensify their efforts to complete verification and processing requirements. Officials have committed to meeting the announced distribution window to fulfill the promised incentive payments.
