QuestionsQuestions (EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 31)
It directs the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) to establish a comprehensive database on government manpower to support budget management, strengthen results-orientation, and ensure transparency and accountability in government expenditures.
The DBM was directed to enhance the existing Government Manpower Information System (GMIS), a computer-based management information system covering manpower in the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial Branches, including Constitutional Offices.
It noted that the GMIS did not cover: (a) military personnel of the DND, (b) uniformed personnel of the DILG and Philippine Coast Guard (PCG), (c) casual and contractual government personnel, and (d) personnel of GOCCs and GFIs.
Within three (3) years from the issuance of the EO.
It must provide complete and accurate data of: (1) all positions, (2) incumbents, and (3) authorized compensation.
All heads of departments and agencies of the national government must submit complete information, including positions, incumbents, and authorized compensation, for all civilian, military, and uniformed personnel.
No. It explicitly includes regular, casual, and contractual personnel, regardless of the funding source of their PS requirement.
The DND, DILG, Philippine Coast Guard, and the National Mapping and Resource Information Authority were required to submit their roster within the first half of 2011.
Their proposed PS requirement must be computed based on the personnel information they provide to the DBM and in accordance with their authorized compensation.
During review, the DBM shall only recommend PS requirements consistent with the comprehensive database on government manpower.
Payments beyond or in excess of what is reflected in the database are considered illegal disbursements of public funds, making responsible officials administratively and criminally accountable.
It refers to basic salary, allowances and benefits, and incentives authorized under Republic Act No. 6758 (Salary Standardization Law), as amended, or the respective charters of agencies/entities exempted from its coverage, as amended.
It must be updated on a regular basis by departments and agencies to reflect changes in positions and incumbents.
It must be linked with personnel information systems of the Civil Service Commission (CSC), Government Service Insurance System, Bureau of Internal Revenue, and other concerned agencies, including human resource management information systems and payroll systems of different agencies.
The DBM must protect the confidentiality of all gathered and stored data; any breach or unauthorized disclosure makes responsible officials administratively and criminally liable under existing laws.
The DBM is required to issue implementing guidelines or rules and regulations to ensure proper implementation and immediate compliance.
It cites Section 22, Article VII of the Constitution (President submits yearly national budget to Congress) and Section 3, Chapter I, Title XVII, Book IV of the Administrative Code of 1987 (EO 292), which mandates DBM to assist the President in preparing the national budget to ensure effective utilization of public funds.
It directs that, in coordination with the CSC, DBM shall conduct a risk-based personnel audit of the manpower complement of government agencies on a regular basis.
