(DILG), while the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) is under the Department
of National Defense.
In
times of war, the Philippine Coast Guard is linked to the Department of
National Defense. Additionally, the Philippine Coast Guard is primarily
attached to the Department of Transportation.
Who are not entitled to receive SRI FY 2024?
Personnel under the following circumstances shall not be entitled to the benefit of SRI:
a. Those who are no longer in the service due to retirement, resignation, separation, death or for whatever reasons prior to November 30, 2024;
b. Those
who are not hired as part of the organic manpower but as consultants or experts
for a limited period to perform specific activities or services with expected
outputs; and
c. Those who have been found guilty of any offense, administrative or criminal, in connection with their official duties and functions in FY 2024.
SRI FY 2024 Rules and Regulations
Personnel who have been formally charged with administrative and/or criminal cases and whose cases are still pending resolution are eligible for the SRI until they are found guilty and meted penalties. However, if found guilty but only given a reprimand, the personnel involved are entitled to the SRI.
The
SRI of a former employee who transferred to another agency shall be granted by
the new agency.
The
SRI of personnel on detail to another government agency shall be granted by his
or her mother unit.
Personnel who have been rendered less than a total or an aggregate of four (4) months of satisfactory service as of November 30, 2024 shall be entitles to a pro-rated share of the SRI as follows:
Length of Service |
Percentage of SRI Incentive |
3
months but less than 4 months |
40% |
2
months but less than 3 months |
30% |
1
months but less than 2 months |
20% |
Less than 1 months |

How much is the SRI FY 2024?
The first, second, and third SRI under former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte’s administration received by our men in uniform is ₱10,000.
Under
President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Romualdez Jr., the new SRI for
uniformed personnel, including non-uniformed personnel, does not exceed ₱20,000.
On December 23, 2022, the BJMP personnel confirmed and received their SRI for FY 2022, amounting to ₱20,000 per eligible employee. It goes to show that since BJMP, BFP, and PNP were under the DILG, it is safe to assume that they will have the same SRI amount of ₱20,000.
SRI FY 2024 Source of Fund
The amount necessary to grant the SRI to eligible personnel shall be charged against each agency’s available release personal service allotment under Republic Act Number 11639 or the FY 2024 General Appropriations Act (GAA).
In the event of a shortfall, the required amount may be charged against the Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses (MOOE) allotment, subject to the rules on allotment modification outlined in Section 78 of the General Provisions of the FY 2024 GAA, as well as other relevant budgeting, accounting, and auditing rules and regulations.
