Presidential Communications Office Undersecretary Claire Castro said the 2023 PBB will be 52% of the monthly basic salary for DepEd personnel who achieve a total assessment score of 80 points. This is higher than the previous bonuses of 45.5% in 2021 and 48.75% in 2022.
“Ang 2023 Performance-Based Bonus na ito ay mas mataas kumpara sa 45.5% at 48.75% noong 2021 at 2022,” Castro said during a Palace briefing.
She added that the bonus underscores the government’s commitment to supporting the dignity and welfare of education personnel who continue to work toward improving the country’s education system.IMT
