The long wait for the 2023 Performance-Based Bonus (PBB) continues to move forward as new updates emerge from verified DepEd advocacy groups. According to recent posts by Ma’am Shiela Lim Manuel of NCR-ASSERT and Sir Benjo Basas of Teachers Dignity Coalition (TDC), several Schools Division Offices (SDOs) have officially confirmed the release of their 2023 PBB. This development signals steady progress in the nationwide distribution of incentives for eligible DepEd employees.

DepEd employees can expect more SDOs to be added in the coming days as the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) completes validations and releases additional allotments and notices.

What This Update Means for DepEd Personnel

The PBB is a performance-based incentive granted to government employees who meet the criteria under the Performance-Based Incentive System (PBIS). For DepEd personnel, the bonus reflects their contribution to organizational goals, improvements in education quality, and excellence in service delivery.

Confirmation that an SDO has received its PBB indicates that the DBM has completed the necessary validation and funding processes for that division. Once released, the usual next steps include:

• Processing of payroll
• Scheduling of crediting
• Coordination with regional and division offices

This milestone brings renewed hope to thousands of teachers and non-teaching staff who are still waiting for updates on the release for their respective SDOs.
