The Department of Budget and Management (DBM) has announced that over 1.85 million government employees will receive a year‑end bonus equivalent to one month’s basic pay plus a ₱5,000 cash gift with their first agency payroll in November 2025.
The fiscal year 2025 budget allocates ₱63.69 billion for the bonus and ₱9.24 billion for the cash gift. Eligibility requires employees—regular, contractual, casual, part-time, or full‑time—to have rendered at least four months of service from January 1 and still be in government service as of October 31.
The early release of these benefits is framed as recognition of public servants’ hard work and aims to avoid past delays in disbursement.
Agencies have been instructed to ensure timely processing since the necessary funds were released at the start of the fiscal year.#GovtEmployeesBonus #BagongPilipinasBenefits
