List of SDOs with credited SRI and NCA


Department of Education (DepEd) Secretary Sonny Angara has directed the immediate release of the Fiscal Year 2025 Service Recognition Incentive (SRI) of ₱20,000.00 for eligible employees, authorizing a two-tranche payment to expedite distribution before the end of the year.

In a memorandum dated December 17, 2025, Secretary Angara instructed all Regional Directors, Schools Division Superintendents, and Finance Officers to facilitate the grant following the issuance of Administrative Order (AO) No. 40 by the Office of the President.

To manage cash allocations effectively while ensuring immediate relief for personnel, the Education Secretary approved the release of the incentive in two separate installments:

First Tranche: Operating units are authorized to release an initial payment of at least ₱10,000.00 but not exceeding ₱14,500.00. This amount depends on the available Notice of Cash Allocation (NCA) for Personnel Services currently held by the respective units.

Second Tranche: The remaining balance—completing the full ₱20,000.00 benefit—will be released immediately after the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) approves the necessary requests for modification of allotments.

The memorandum emphasizes that the obligation for the SRI allotment must be processed on or before December 31, 2025.

DepEd finance units have been tasked with determining the specific amount for the first tranche based on their available cash balances to prevent overdrafts. The incentive will be credited directly to employees' ATM payroll accounts.

The grant complies with DBM Budget Circular No. 2025-3, issued on December 15, 2025, which sets the guidelines for the uniform rate of the incentive across the executive branch. The SRI acknowledges the collective contribution and responsiveness of the government workforce to the administration's goals throughout the fiscal year.
