c. Capital Outlay such as the purchase of furniture and equipment (computers, science and math equipment and others), and major repairs of equipment and laboratories.

5. Upon release of the allotment by the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) to DepEd Central Office (CO), the Budget Division-Finance and Management Service shall issue the Sub-Allotment Release Order (Sub-ARO) to the schools with financial autonomy or to implementing units (IUs), and through the schools division offices for schools without fiscal autonomy. After the receipt of the Sub-ARO, the secondary IUs and the division offices (DOs) shall request from the concerned DBM Regional Offices (ROs) the corresponding cash requirements or Notice of Cash Allocation (NCA).
