I, FIDEL V. RAMOS, President of the
Republic of the Philippines, by virtue of the powers vested in me by
law, do hereby order:
1.0 COVERAGE
1.1 All government personnel whether under regular,
temporary or casual status, and contractual personnel whose employment

1.2 Government personnel with pending cases, whether
or not they are under preventive suspension, those on leave without pay
and those absent without official leave (AWOL) shall not be entitled to
the option herein authorized.
2.0 RULES AND REGULATIONS
2.1 The government personnel covered by this Order
shall have the option to receive an advance of one-half (1/2) of the
amount of the Christmas Bonus and Cash Gift for CY 1994 under RA No.
6686 as an interest-free loan. Said loan shall be payable and
deductible from the full amount of the Christmas Bonus and Cash Gift
for CY 1994 accruing to the official or employee concerned during the
current budget year.
2.2 An official or employee whose government service
is terminated by whatever cause after May 15, 1994 but before the
actual grant of the benefits herein authorized shall no longer be
allowed to exercise said option.
2.3 Officials/employees who availed of the option
herein authorized and who resigned and/or are separated from government
service for whatever cause before October 31, 1994 shall be required to
pay the amounts received. For this purpose, the head of the
office/agency concerned and such other officials/employees who took
part in the grant of the loan shall cause the deduction of the above
from any benefits, including the last salary due the official/employee
whose government service ends before October 31, 1994.
2.4 An official or employee who is on full-time or
part-time detail with another government office/agency or special
project may exercise his option under this Order from his mother
agency. In the case of personnel paid from project funds, the loan
shall be drawn from the same source where he draws his salary. No one
shall exercise the option under this Order from more than one source.
2.5 Officials and employees who are employed on a
part-time basis are entitled to the loan provided herein corresponding
to the basic salary he is actually receiving and a pro-rata amount of
the P1,000.00 Cash Gift. Those, who by the nature of their employment,
are on part-time service with two (2) different agencies, where
part-time service in one agency is equivalent to one-half day service,
shall be entitled to an amount for the corresponding service in each
agency, provided that the total loan shall not exceed the equivalent
amount provided in this Order.
2.6 The loan under this Order of an official/employee
who has transferred from one agency to another shall be granted by his
new Office.
