Health workers press DBM for overdue bonus
The Philippine Star
|July 11, 2025
More than 100 health workers from various public hospitals in Metro Manila trooped to the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) office yesterday to demand the release of their long overdue Performance-Based Bonus (PBB).
Members of the Alliance of Health Workers (AHW) called on the DBM to accommodate their request for a dialogue for the PBB which covers three years or from 2021 to 2023.
Department of Health hospitals did not receive their PBB due to the DOH's non-compliance with the necessary requirements.
"AHW unions stand firm that DOH hospitals should not be penalized or adversely affected if the Department of Health central office fails to meet certain requirements for compliance with the Performance-Based Bonus," the group said in a statement.
