DepEd Camarines Sur Releases Guidelines for FY 2023 Performance-Based Bonus

The Department of Education (DepEd) Camarines Sur Division has released Division Memorandum No. 446, s. 2025, detailing the dissemination and compliance procedures for the grant of the FY 2023 Performance-Based Bonus (PBB). The directive follows the memorandum from the Human Resource Organizational Development dated October 3, 2025, confirming that DepEd obtained a total score of 80 points, making the department eligible for the incentive. Schools Division Offices are required to validate and submit Form 1.0 to ensure inclusion in the PBB evaluation.

According to the memorandum, all PBB focal persons and administrative officers must submit the validated Form 1.0 of their respective schools or districts by October 13, 2025, through the link provided, while printed copies must be forwarded to the Human Resource Management Office (HRMO) by October 15, 2025. The memorandum also provided a QR code for easy access to templates and reference materials related to the PBB. The rating period for school-based personnel covers August 1, 2023, to July 31, 2024, while non-school-based personnel are rated from January to December 2023.

To qualify for the FY 2023 PBB, personnel must meet several conditions under AO25 Memorandum Circular No. 2023-1. These include earning at least a “Very Satisfactory” performance rating, submitting their Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth (SALN) for FY 2022, and having no unliquidated cash advances or pending administrative or criminal cases. Personnel must have rendered at least nine months of service during FY 2023 to qualify for the full PBB, while those with at least three months of service may receive a prorated amount.

The memorandum also outlines detailed instructions for consolidating and submitting Form 1.0 by district. Each district’s Public Schools District Supervisor (PSDS) must assign an Administrative Officer or PBB Focal Person to compile all submissions from both elementary and secondary schools. The forms must be prepared and certified correct by the respective school heads and district supervisors before submission.

To ensure uniform understanding and compliance, an online orientation for all concerned personnel will be held on October 10, 2025, via the official DepEd Camarines Sur HR Section Facebook page. The Division reminded all personnel to strictly adhere to the deadlines and prescribed formats to ensure inclusion in the timely processing of the FY 2023 PBB.
