AUTHORIZING THE GRANT OF AMELIORATION ASSISTANCE TO ALL GOVERNMENT
PERSONNEL AND PROHIBITING PAYMENTS OF SIMILAR BENEFITS IN FUTURE YEARS
UNLESS AUTHORIZED BY THE PRESIDENT
WHEREAS, a number of government agencies
granted Amelioration Assistance in varying amounts to their personnel
invoking as legal bases therefore, Rule X of the Omnibus Civil Service
Rules, as well as fiscal autonomy and authority to fix and authorize
additional compensation pursuant to the enabling Acts or other statutes
of some government-owned and-controlled corporations;
WHEREAS, other government entities now request authority to grant
similar benefit to their personnel;
WHEREAS, the unilateral and uncoordinated grant of Amelioration
Assistance gave rise to demoralization, discontent and dissatisfaction
among government personnel who have less or have not yet received such
benefit;
WHEREAS, there is need to regulate the grant of such benefit to ensure
uniformity and equity and to conform with the policy of standardization
of compensation enunciated under RA 6758;

of the Philippines, by virtue of the powers vested in me by the
Constitution, PD 985 and RA 6758, do hereby order and direct:

entitled to an amount proportionate to the actual service rendered
while part-time personnel shall be entitled to one-half (1/2) of the
benefit of a full-time personnel.
Sec. 2.
Consequently, all administrative authorizations granting any and all
forms of additional compensation paid outside of the prescribed basic

revoked.

DONE in the City of Manila,
