DepEd expects no delay in release of Christmas bonus for public school teachers

MANILA, Philippines—Contrary to the earlier report Tuesday, the Department of Education says there’s no delay in the release of government teachers’ annual Christmas bonus.

The Department of Education’s Communications Director Tina Ganzon called up INQUIRER.net to clarify they’re expecting the release of funds on December 15 from the Department of Budget and Management for the Productivity Enhancement Incentive program that will give P10,000 bonus to each public school teacher.

“There’s no delay yet because it’s only the 13^th of the month. It all depends on the DBM and we’re expecting it to be released this Thursday (December 15),” Ganzon said.

She added if DBM will release the fund on the said date, government teachers will receive their Christmas bonus before December 25. Totel V. de Jesus, INQUIRER.net
