He emphasized the need for heightened transparency and deeper accountability to the Filipino people to fight corruption and cleanse the bureaucracy. 1.2 Hence, among his priorities is to ensure citizen-centric public service to bring the government closer to people with the citizenry empowered to evaluate and give feedback on public services and the bureaucracy, especially on frontline transactions. He reiterated his directive to all government offices to quickly respond and yield meaningful results in streamlining processes, working more efficiently, and providing high quality and genuine public service that Filipinos deserve without delay and bureaucratic red tape. He underscored the responsibility of each public servant to act with commitment and urgency in protecting and serving the values, welfare and well-being of every Filipino. 1.3 Moreover, in his Veto Message in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 National Budget, President Duterte declared confidence in strengthening the country's foundation for a matatag, maginhawa, at panatag na buhay that Filipinos aspire for. The FY 2018 National Budget represents the sound priorities and programs aimed at fostering the golden age of infrastructure, secure peace and order, and accelerate human capital development for sustained and inclusive growth. To this goal, he called for efficient, responsible and disciplined utilization of the National Budget. 1.4 To tighten the advocacy for intensified public accountability, heightened transparency, stronger fiscal discipline, and more efficient government processes, the government is leveraging the priorities of its Results-Based Performance Management System (RBPMS) and its people-centered Performance-Based Incentive System (PBIS) through requirements and conditions aiming to fight corruption, achieve higher citizen satisfaction and implement a firmer validation process to recognize outstanding performance in government service. 2.0 PURPOSE This Memorandum Circular is issued to prescribe the criteria and conditions for the grant of Performance-Based Bonus (PBB) for FY 2018 performance to be given in FY 2019. 3.0 COVERAGE 3.1 This Circular covers all Departments, Bureaus, Offices and Other Agencies of the National Government, including Constitutional Commissions, Congress, The Judiciary, Office of the Ombudsman, State Universities and Colleges (SUCs), Government-Owned or -Controlled Corporations (GOCCs), Local Water Districts (LWDs) and Local Government Units (LGUs). 3.2 The implementation of this circular shall be done in close coordination with the following: a.

To promote the periodic measurement of agency performance in delivering said services, agencies shall determine and report the following using the Modified Form A-Department/Agency Performance Report (See Annex 3A) : a. Number of Steps . For each critical service, departments/agencies shall report the number of steps necessary to complete the service/process. b. Transaction Costs . These are the costs incurred by the transacting citizens/clients in securing services from government. For purposes of FY 2018 PBB, these costs are categorized as follows: 1) Primary Transaction Costs/Fees . These are the fees incurred by the transacting citizens/clients paid to government agencies in availing the critical services. These are the fees declared in the agency's Citizen's/Service Charter. Examples are application fees, registration fees, etc. 2) Other Transaction Costs . These are the other fees that transacting citizen/client has to pay in obtaining supporting information from another agency to secure needed primary information. Examples of these costs are those for getting birth certificates to secure passports, barangay clearance to secure business permit, and required photos, printing costs, photocopying costs, etc. c. Substantive Compliance Costs which are the incremental costs to the target group in complying with a regulation, other than administrative costs (OECD, 2014, p. 13). These costs can include implementation costs, direct labor costs, overhead costs, equipment costs, material costs, and external service costs. Examples are the purchase of early warning devices for vehicle owners, installation of accelerograph for building with 10 floors and up, maintenance of waste disposal system for establishments, etc. d. Number of Signatures . Departments/Agencies shall declare the number of signatures required to complete each service/process, including the initials required. e. Number of Documents . For each critical service, departments/agencies shall indicate the total number of documents necessary to complete the transaction cycle. The number of documents shall refer to the documents required from the transacting citizens/clients, and the documents that are used by departments/agencies in their internal processing until the completion/delivery of the critical service to the transacting citizens/clients. f. Turnaround Time . For each critical service, departments/agencies shall estimate the turnaround time to complete the service/process. Turnaround time is the sum of the waiting and processing time. It starts from the moment the transacting citizen/client enters the queue or fills out a form, and the waiting time incurred until the service has been completed/delivered. The information above shall serve as the baseline data for each service/process. Departments/agencies should aim to achieve the following improvements for each of their critical services/processes: a. Reduction in the number of signatures to not more than three (3); b. Simplification of application forms or documentary requirements; and c. 50% reduction in the turnaround time and completion of the transaction within 15 days. Departments/agencies shall declare the bureaus/offices/delivery units responsible for the delivery and completion of each critical service. Every bureau/office/delivery unit should be declared in at least one (1) of the critical services, or other key processes performed by the department/agency. The details of the performance of bureaus/offices/delivery units shall be reported using the Modified Form A1 (See Annex 3B) . The declaration of responsible bureaus/offices/delivery units for each critical service or other key processes shall provide performance data as basis in the ranking of each delivery unit. See also Sections 6.7 and 8.1 . In the event the department/agency is unable to achieve the targets they set in this section, they shall provide justifications/explanations using the "Remarks" column. The acceptance of explanation shall be subject to the review and recommendation of the validating agency. 6.2 Citizen/Client Satisfaction . In order to determine the effectiveness of the streamlining and process improvements initiated by agencies, the satisfaction level of the citizens/clients will be measured and reported. Thus, agencies should embed feedback mechanisms and citizen/client satisfaction measurement in their process improvement efforts. Agencies shall report the results of the Citizen/Client Satisfaction Survey for each service. The description of the methodology of the survey, and the agency improvement action plan for FY 2019 shall be submitted using Citizen/Client Satisfaction Report (See Annex 4) . GOCCs covered by RA No. 10149 will report the results of client/customer satisfaction survey based on the standard methodology and corresponding questionnaire prescribed by the GCG. The DAP will be conducting training fora to assist the agencies in these streamlining and process improvement efforts. The AO 25 Secretariat can be contacted for the schedule of these trainings. 6.3 STO Target. Initial certification/Recertification of the QMS for at least one (1) core process or frontline service as mandated under its existing pertinent laws . For the ISO 9001:2015 QMS certification, it must be issued by any of the certification bodies (CBs) accredited by the International Accreditation Forum (IAF) members. Preferably, the CB is accredited by the Philippine Accreditation Bureau under the Department of Trade and Industry, which is the Philippine Accreditation Body of the IAF. ISO 9001:2015 QMS equivalent certifications/attestations granted by similar internationally recognized bodies promoting Total Quality Management (TQM) shall be considered, e.g. , Philippine Quality Award, ISO/IEC 17025, ISO 17020, and Omentum Accreditation Canada. The certification must be valid until December 31, 2018 or a later date, and must be posted in the agency TS page not later than December 31, 2018. A certified-true copy of the Agency's QMS Certificate/s shall be submitted to the Government Quality Management Committee (GQMC), through the DBM Secretariat Systems and Productivity Improvement Bureau, immediately after obtaining a QMS Certificate or Recertification not later than December 31, 2018, for verification purposes. For frontline agencies, it is expected that the core process pertains to an agency process most demanded by citizens and business and targeted for improvement under Sections 6.1 and 6.2 above. 6.4 GASS Targets . The common GASS targets shall include the following: a. Budget Utilization Rate (BUR) , which shall consist of: 1) Obligations BUR computed as obligation rates for Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses (MOOE) and Capital Outlays (CO) of all programs, activities, and projects funded in FY 2018 from all appropriation sources, including those released under the General Appropriations Act as the allotment order policy, net of savings from procurement, and implementation of cost-cutting measures; and 2) Disbursements BUR which is measured by the ratio of total disbursements (cash and non-cash, excluding Personnel Services) to total obligations for MOOE and CO in FY 2018, net of goods and services obligated by December 31, 2018 but accounts payable and not yet due and demandable on the said date. 3) BUR for GOCCs is computed as follows: Obligations BUR = Total Obligations/DBM Approved Corporate Operating Budget (both net of Personnel Services) Disbursement BUR = Total Actual Disbursement/Total Actual obligations (both net of Personnel Services) 4) BUR for SUCs is computed as follows: i. Obligations and Disbursements BUR will be the same as those for department/agencies. ii. Because all income of the SUCs ( e.g. , trust funds, internally generated income, and revolving funds) should benefit and improve the SUCs operations, its Obligations and Disbursements utilization rates will also be reported following the reporting format in Annex 5: FY 2018 GAA Accomplishments and BUR Form for SUCs . b. Sustained Compliance with Audit Findings . Fully implement 30% of the prior years' audit recommendations as shown in the Report on Status of Implementation of Prior Years' Recommendations.

ANNEX 3A Modified Form A Department/Agency Performance Report ANNEX 3B Modified Form A1 Details of Bureau/Office Performance Report ANNEX 4 Citizen/Client Satisfaction Report 1. All departments/agencies should measure and report the satisfaction level of citizens/clients that they served. Measuring the satisfaction level of citizens/clients shall generate verifiable data and tangible evidences that can help departments/agencies determine their effectiveness in relating with citizens/clients. These data should guide departments/agencies in identifying approaches on continuously refining their processes. 2. There are different ways to measure citizen/client satisfaction. To enable agencies adopt a measurement technique that fits the nature of their critical services, the AO 25 IATF prescribes no standard method in measuring satisfaction. This guide shall serve as reference in identifying a minimum standard, some elements and practices in conducting and reporting citizen/client satisfaction. 3. Measurement approach should have the following basic properties: a. The method should be valid . It should exhibit a clear and measurable goal. It should be particularly crafted to gather data that shall be analyzed, interpreted and reported. b. The method should be replicable . It should allow repeatability. The measurement should generate results that can be tracked over time. The questions should be crafted in manner that they can be repeated, and yield results that can be compared to baseline data. c. The method should have a specific timeline of measurement . For purposes of the FY 2018 PBB, departments/agencies can set their own timeline within 2018 to implement improvement. The measurement should coincide with the department's/agency's roll out of their process improvement. 4. Since there are different critical services provided by departments/agencies, the AO 25 IATF prescribes no specific sample size. However, departments/agencies shall ensure that respondents are the citizens/clients who availed the critical service. 5. Results should reflect satisfaction ratings of citizens/clients who availed the critical services. 6. All departments/agencies should report the results of the measurement using template below. Agencies should clearly define the scope and period covered of the satisfaction measurement; describe the methodology; results of measurement and interpretation of data; and agency improvement plan for 2019 toward improving citizen/client satisfaction. ___________________________________________ <Department/Agency's Name and Letterhead> CITIZEN/CLIENT SATISFACTION REPORT I.
