COTABATO CITY — This is something officials and workers of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (Armm) are looking up to.
More than 30,000 Armm employees are entitled to receive the bonus that mirrors the “upgrading of professionalism and delivery of services” in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, Lawyer LaisaAlamia, Armm executive secretary said.
“This is a big honor and a major accomplishment. More than the incentives, every agency, every employee must maintain that kind of level of professionalism and that kind of level of performance,” Alamia said.
The Department of Budget and Management has affirmed Armm’s compliance with the requirements of the Performance-Based Bonus (PBB), a system that rewards “exemplary performance in government.”
The regional government passed the Good Governance Conditions and the performance indicators in all its target deliveables for 2014 which qualified the region for the bonus.
In a statement released by Armm information office, Maritess Galindo, 56, administrative officer of Office of the Regional Go-vernor, was elated with the “good news.”
“I’m proud because my performance was acknowledged and that I’m part of the reform,” Galindo said.
“What Armm should be proud of is its accomplishments. It’s an independent verification that the reforms in the autonomous region were achieved and that these reforms improve peoples’ access to services,” said MaricrisValte of the Development Academy of the Philippines (DAP).
The DAP serves as the secretariat and technical resource institution of the Administrative Order 25 Inter-Agency Task Force that oversees the performance monitoring, evaluation, information and reporting of essential components of performance management system of a government office, department, or instrumentality.
“(The performance-based bonus) is meant not just compliance with the requirements, but is also meant to encourage and ensure that the agency accomplishes what it has pledged to accomplish,” Valte affirmed.
The PBB system is a merit-based incentive program that recognizes and rewards exemplary public service. (PNA)
