Law: Executive Order No. 310

Decision Date: Nov 12, 1987

Corazon C. Aquino grants a year-end bonus equivalent to one month’s salary and a cash gift of P1,000 to all national government officials and employees who have served at least four months, reinforcing the government's commitment to recognize public service dedication.

Law Summary

Year-End Bonus Eligibility and Amount

All national government officials and employees, regardless of employment status (regular, temporary, casual, or contractual), are eligible.
Eligibility requires a minimum of four months of service as of October 31, 1987.
The year-end bonus equals one month of the employee's basic salary.

Additional Cash Gift

An additional cash gift of PHP 1,000 is granted to all national government officials and employees who meet the eligibility criteria.

Benefits Extension to Local Government Units (LGUs)

LGUs may provide the same year-end bonus and cash gift benefits under the same conditions.
Provision is subject to the availability of local government funds.

Benefits Extension to Government-Owned and Controlled Corporations (GOCCs)

GOCCs may grant the same benefits to their officials and employees, charged against their corporate funds.
For GOCCs not receiving national government subsidies, year-end benefits should be consistent with the benefits granted for the year ending December 1986.
Presidential approval following review and recommendation by the Department of Budget and Management is required for GOCCs.

Any shortfall in funding will be charged against the personal services savings of the National Government.
