Policy Guidelines and Procedures in the Preparation of the FY 2009 Budget Proposals

May 2, 2008

DBM NATIONAL BUDGET MEMORANDUM NO. 101-08

 

1.0 PURPOSE

1.1 To provide the overall macroeconomic and fiscal policy framework and thrusts for FY 2009-2010, within the context of the Medium-Term Philippine Development Plan, 2004-2010 (MTPDP) and other policy developments;

1.2 To prescribe the guidelines and procedures in the preparation of the FY 2009 agency budget consistent with the Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) and the Organizational Performance Indicator Framework (OPIF), and;

1.3 To set the schedule of budget preparation activities.

2.0 BUDGET FRAMEWORK

2.1 The FY 2009 Budget shall uphold the commitment to fiscal consolidation and a balanced budget next year consistent with the medium-term macroeconomic and fiscal framework under the MTPDP, as updated by the Development Budget Coordination Committee. Hence the budget, as a principal tool for national development, shall prioritize key strategic programs and activities supportive of the 10-Point Legacy Agenda/SONA commitments and Millennium Development Goals to strengthen the foundation towards achieving sustainable prosperity and accelerate growth.

2.2 Reforms in public expenditure management such as the Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) and the Organizational Performance Indicator Framework (OPIF) shall continue to be vigorously pursued and mainstreamed in the planning, programming and budgeting systems as well as in the structure and composition of agency Programs, Activities and Projects (P/A/Ps).

2.3 The 2009 budget preparation exercise shall seek to achieve the following primary objectives:

2.3.1 Ensure consistency of the national budget to the President's development agenda within the context of overall fiscal discipline and consolidation through the MTEF. cTIESD

2.3.2 Encourage agencies to focus efforts on the delivery of outputs directly contributing to their organizational goals; and clarify their performance and accountability consistent with the OPIF. This means that the Major Final Outputs (MFOs) shall be the primary elements/units for determining resource allocation. Moreover, these MFO allocations shall be the basis of the monitoring and evaluation of agency financial and physical performance.

2.4 MTEF

2.4.1 The MTEF which is the planning-budgeting framework of the government to underpin a strategic and policy-based approach to budget preparation shall continue to be implemented. It shall provide a medium term perspective to decision-making that considers future costs of existing policies to determine the budget space for new programs/projects. Given the limited fiscal space, these new programs shall continue to support the key sectoral priorities vital for growth and competitiveness.

2.4.2 The MTEF was initially implemented in 2006 for the 2007 budget preparation through the formulation (for 2007-2009) of Forward Estimates (FEs), or the estimates of the future costs of existing policies. The FEs were matched with revenues to determine the budget space, available for new policies and priorities. It also served as validation instrument for determining the reasonableness of agency proposals on existing P/A/Ps.

2.4.3 For 2009, the 2008-2010 FEs were updated and a new set of FEs for 2011 has been formulated in consultation with concerned departments/agencies. An updating was made given policy (e.g., policy changes in the FY 2008 GAA) and macroeconomic parameter changes (e.g., changes in macroeconomic assumptions). Additionally, actual OPIF-based performance data were used in the updating process.

2.4.4 A paper on budget strategy (PBS) initially prepared in 2006 will continue to be the principal tool in integrating policy and strategic resource allocation. It shall continue to, assess and relate the progress in meeting development objectives with resource allocation.

2.4.4.1 To further bring down public debt with fiscal balance by the year 2009, government shall continuously balance its budget in 2009 and 2010.

2.4.4.2 As approved by the President in 2008, the priority concerns over the medium-term shall continue to be infrastructure build-up, improvement of the quality of basic education, science & technology, health services and housing. AaCcST

2.4.4.3 Following last year's procedure, the decisions of the DBCC and the President on the allocation of the fiscal headroom shall be communicated to concerned departments. The details and other requirements for new spending proposals shall be covered by a separate issuance.

2.5 OPIF

2.5.1 The OPIF is an approach to expenditure management that directs resources towards results or MFOs and measures agency performance by key quality and quantity indicators. It is a process that demonstrates the direct relationship between agency programs and activities and the goods and services that the agency is mandated to deliver to its external clients to achieve organizational outcomes as well as sectoral and societal goals under the MTPDP.

2.5.2 All Departments including their attached agencies/bureaus as well as the Other Executive Offices (OEOs) which have constructed their OPIF logframes and have identified MFOs and Performance Indicators (PIs), shall adopt the OPIF in the 2009 budget preparation.

2.5.3 Departments/agencies/OEOs shall ensure the alignment of their programs, projects and activities with their MFOs. Provisions for unlinked or non-strategic/low priority activities funded within FEs may be reallocated, to enhance core mandates as agencies continuously strive to achieve greater efficiency and value for money in spending government resources.

2.6 OTHER PUBLIC SECTOR REFORMS

2.6.1 As a means for further improving efficiency and effectiveness in government operations, agencies shall incorporate implications of the following public sector reforms on their budget proposals:

2.6.1.1 The Rationalization Program under Executive Order No. 366 shall continue to be the government's vehicle in conducting a strategic review of agency operations for the purpose of enhancing economy, efficiency, and effectiveness.

2.6.1.2 Agencies are encouraged to undertake reasonable cost recovery measures for goods and services delivered to the public and other agencies to assist in the revenue enhancement effort of the government and encourage better service delivery. IDcAHT

2.6.1.3 The mandatory use of the Philippine Government Electronic Procurement System (PhilGEPS) in improving transparency and efficiency in procurement processes pursuant to RA 9184 shall be noted. Agencies shall register with PhilGEPS, strictly post bids and awards, and use harmonized bidding documents and generic manuals issued by the Government Procurement Policy Board (GPPB).

3.0 MACROECONOMIC AND FISCAL TARGETS

3.1 GDP is expected to accelerate in 2009, from 6.0 percent in 2008 to 6.5 percent from stronger growth in all the sectors. The impact of the higher oil prices will be offset by greater allowance for more spending on construction.

3.1.1 The agriculture sector is seen to expand by as much as 6.0 percent annually on account of its five-point program currently being implemented, which focuses on (1) market access; (2) rural infrastructure; (3) post-harvest and storage facilities; (4) credit, financial and insurance support; and (5) research, development rural extension work and training.

3.1.2 Investments would also be intensified in 2009 as the government in partnership with the private sector continues to upgrade the country's infrastructure. The mining, utilities, construction and transportation sub-sectors would benefit the most from these projects.

3.1.3 The services industry is also seen grow with strengthened tourism sector and with more liberalized air travel policies.

3.2 For 2009-2010, the economy is expected to be propelled by the private sector assisted by improved investment prospects in all sectors, OFW remittances and by the virtuous circle of prudent fiscal management. Hence, budget preparation shall be based on the following assumptions:

PARTICULARS	2007	2008*	2009*	2010*
	Actual
GNP Real Growth (%)	7.8	6.6-7.3	7.5-8.2	8.0-8.8
GDP Real Growth (%)	7.3	6.0-6.7	6.5-7.3	6.9-7.7
Inflation Rate (%)	2.8	4.0-5.0	2.5-4.5	2.5-4.5
91-day T-bill rate (%)	3.4	3.5-5.5	3.5-5.5	3.5-5.5
Foreign Exchange	46.15	40-43	40-43	40-43
Rate (P/$)
* 2008-2010 figures are preliminary forecasts and are subject to adjustments

3.3 The growth path for 2009-2010 allows for increases in construction spending to raise investments. With stronger investment spending, the industry sector is expected to post higher growth rates to sustain the economy's growth in the coming years. Hence, despite the worsening oil prices, growth is still expected to be higher than the old figures. The GDP will grow by at least 6.5 percent and 6.9 percent in 2009 and 2010, respectively. TIESCA

3.4 It is expected that inflation will stabilize between rates lower than that in 2008. For budget formulation, the following shall be used:

3.4.1 For 2009 and 2010, the point of estimate to be used shall be 3.5%, the mid-point of the forecast inflation rate range of 2.5%-4.5%

3.5 The peso-to-dollar exchange rate is assumed to remain stable at the P40-P43 range. On the other hand, interest rates, as indicated by the 91-day Treasury bill rate, are projected to increase from the 2007 rate, to range between 3.5% and 5.5%. For budget formulation, the following shall be used:

3.5.1 Exchange rate of P42:$1 for 2009-2010.

3.5.2 Interest rate of 5.5% for 2009-2010.

3.6 Based on the aforesaid macroeconomic assumptions and the fiscal consolidation strategy of the government, the preliminary fiscal program for 2009 is as follows:

Particulars	2007	2008	2009
		Actual	Program	Proposed
Levels in Billion Pesos
	Revenues	1,136.6	1,236.2	1,337.1
	Disbursements	1,149.0	1,236.2	1,337.1
	Surplus/(Deficit)	(12.4)	-	-
Percent of GDP
	Revenues	17.1	17.0	16.5
	Disbursements	17.3	17.0	16.5
	Surplus/(Deficit)	(0.2)	-	-
Growth Rate
	Revenues	39.3	8.8	8.2
	Disbursements	19.3	7.6	8.2
	Surplus/(Deficit)	(91.5)	(100.0)

 

3.7 The P1.337 trillion projected revenues represent an 8.2 percent growth over the expected revenue collections of 2008. This projection incorporates only existing legislative measures.

3.8 Consistent with the above aggregate fiscal targets, an obligation budget ceiling amounting to P1.317 trillion is proposed for 2009. This budget level is higher by P90.0 billion or 7.3 percent than the 2008 programmed level. CAScIH

4.0 GUIDE TO DEPARTMENT/AGENCY BUDGET FORMULATION AND RESOURCE ALLOCATION

4.1 Forward Estimates

4.1.1 The forward estimates (FEs) i.e., the future costs of existing programs for the MTEF period (2008-2010) formulated last year will be updated to consider policy changes under the 2008 General Appropriations Act (GAA), among others, and changes if any, in certain macroeconomic assumptions e.g., inflation rate.

4.2 Department Ceilings for 2009

4.2.1 The indicative budget ceiling of each Department or Other Executive Office (OEO) for FY 2009 shall correspond to their specific appropriation levels in FY 2008 under R.A. No. 9498, net of their built-in appropriations for Terminal Leave Benefits. This level may, however, be adjusted based on demonstrated absorptive capacity in relation to the agency MFOs. This budget level may also be adjusted on the basis of sectoral priorities as finally determined by the President and the Cabinet.

4.2.2 Department heads shall have final discretion over the reallocation of the ceiling among its bureaus, regional offices and attached agencies, including component programs and projects.

4.3 Output-Based Budgeting/OPIF

4.3.3.4. Pending the approval of the agency Rationalization Plans (RPs), the P/A/P structure of the agency shall be on status quo. Any change in the P/A/P structure shall be addressed during budget execution either in the 2008 or 2009 budgets, whichever is appropriate.

4.3.4 OPIF-Based Performance Indicators/Targets

4.3.4.1. Appropriate key performance indicators/targets shall be identified per MFO. There could be several indicators/targets as the agency may find necessary to monitor and use. However, for focus and manageability, agencies are advised to present three (3) key indicators per MFO.

4.3.4.2. Performance Indicators (PIs), defined under NBC No. 501 (s. 2005) as performance measures to be used for the assessment of the delivery of MFOs contributing to organizational outcomes, can be expressed in either quantitative or qualitative terms:

a. Quantity Indicators — are measures of the volume of outputs. These indicators shall be well-selected and limited to those that best reflect the workload involved as well as the inputs required to deliver the MFOs.

b. Quality Indicators — are measures of "how well" an MFO is delivered. These may include measures of timeliness, cost-efficiency, accuracy, completeness, accessibility, compliance with standards or satisfaction of client needs. cSEDTC

4.3.4.3 Performance targets (PTs) are the achievable levels of accomplishment (quantitative and qualitative) pertaining to an agency's MFO-PI consistent with its budget allocation within a one-year period. It is generally expected that PTs will rise with an increase in budget.

AGENCY PERFORMANCE MEASURES

This form shall contain a three-year presentation of the performance measures of departments and agencies. Based on the Organizational Performance Indicator Framework (OPIF), departments/agencies shall specify their Major Final Outputs (MFOs), appropriate performance indicators, accomplishments and targets, and corresponding budgetary allocation for related programs/activities/projects. SHECcT

This form shall be accomplished as follows:

Column (1)	MFO/Indicator (Qualitative and/or Quantitative) — Indicate the MFOs, which are defined as the goods and services that a department or agency is mandated to deliver to external clients through the implementation of programs, activities and projects. These MFOs shall have been agreed upon, harmonized and formally confirmed amongst the agency head, NEDA and the DBM.
	Indicators shall be identified per MFO. There could be one or several indicators per MFO as the agency may find necessary to monitor and use. For focus and manageability, a few strategic indicators can be chosen. Examples of quantity indicators for DepEd are increase in number of enrollees, achievement rate for the elementary level, as a quality indicator.
Column (2)	Unit of Measure — Indicate how the indicators will be measured. Indicators are expressed in terms of qualitative and quantitative units of measurement. These may be defined as follows:
	Quantity Indicators — are measures of the volume of outputs. These indicators shall be well-selected and limited to those that best reflect the workload involved as well as the inputs required to deliver the MFOs. Quantity indicators are important to support/validate the budgetary request rather than as a performance measure.
	Quality Indicators — are measures of "how well" an MFO is delivered. These may include measures of timeliness, cost-efficiency, accuracy, completeness, accessibility, compliance with standards or satisfaction of client needs. Hence, to provide the basis or performance assessment, agencies will also include qualitative indicators.
	Examples are number of enrollees (Quantity), ratio of students getting passing grade/total number of examinees (Quality).
Columns (3-6)	Performance — Specific numerical performance measurement of the agency targets and actual accomplishments for FY 2007 and targets from FY 2008 to FY 2009 corresponding to the specific MFOs/indicators under Column (1).
Columns (7-9)	Budget Allocation — Cost provision (actual for FY 2007, appropriation for FY 2008 and proposed for FY 2009) corresponding to each PAP attributed to MFOs/indicators presented under Column (1).
	In cases where a PAP contributes to more than one MFO, the budget for that PAP shall accordingly be allocated/distributed among the MFOs. Such budgetary distribution may be determined based on the proportion of the actual number of personnel assigned to the MFOs, or by using other relevant cost allocation factors.

BP 600: ANNUAL GAD PLAN AND BUDGET

This form presents the agency GAD plan and budget for FY 2009.

Column (1)	Program/Activity/Project
	The objective for reviewing the agency mandate and existing P/A/P(s) is to surface the gender issues that the agency should address. Agency P/A/P(s) to be reviewed must be major, centerpiece programs.
	The Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment Framework shall be the guiding framework in reviewing the agency's existing P/A/P(s). Sex-disaggregated data must also be used when analyzing the agency's existing P/A/P(s). The Framework Plan for Women, the Philippine Plan for Gender-responsive Development and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women may serve as references for identifying the gender issues that the agency must address. Consultations with gender-aware women and the agencies' clientele should likewise be undertaken to validate and further define the gender issues articulated in the above-mentioned documents.
	Agencies without sex-disaggregated data must identify the disaggregation of data by sex as a GAD activity to be prioritized for implementation so as to avoid reporting the same problem in the following years.
Column (2)	Gender Issue/Concern
	The objective of this action then is to prioritize the gender issues that the agency will commit to address within the year.
	A gender issue can be classified as client-focused or organization-focused. A client-focused gender issue articulates the extent of disparity of women and men over benefits from and contribution to a program and/or project of the agency. On the other hand, an organization-focused issue points to the gap in the capacity of the organization to integrate a gender dimension in the activities of its programs and projects.
	The GAD Focal Point, however, must ensure that gender issues that have not been prioritized shall be addressed by the agency in the next planning year.
Column (3)	GAD Objective
	The objective at this point is to clarify and spell-out what the agency intends to accomplish vis-à-vis each gender issue that the agency commits to address.
	The GAD objective must describe the intended outcome rather than merely state the intended activities of the agency. It must be specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time-bound.
	Identifying intended outcomes will help the agency identify appropriate GAD activities; keep its direction and ensure proper focus during implementation; and assess its accomplishments and gains vis-à-vis the gender issues identified.
Column (4)	Identified GAD Activity
	The objective of this action is to identify corresponding interventions for each gender issue that the agency commits to address.
	Said interventions may take the form of the agencies' existing P/A/P(s) but enhanced with the GAD perspective OR it may take the form of a reformulated P/A/P. The activities that will make the agency or the existing P/A/Ps of the agency address the gender issues of its clients or organization are called GAD activities. The GAD activities can either be client-focused or organization-focused.
	Client-focused GAD activities are activities that seek to address the gender issues of the agency's clients. For oversight agencies whose clients are government organizations, client-focused GAD activities may include the review and integration of GAD in policies, database systems, monitoring and evaluation, or integration of GAD in training modules of government employees.
	Organization-focused activities are activities that seek to: a) create the organizational environment for implementing gender-responsive policies, programs and projects; and b) address the gender issues of employees particularly those that affect women's performance as government workers like sexual harassment, low participation of women in human resource development undertakings and decision-making structures and processes, and lack of support to ease women's multiple burden such as daycare in the workplace.
	Agencies shall give premium to client-focused GAD activities than the organization-focused GAD activities.
Column (5)	Target
	The objective of this action is to identify the quantitative and qualitative results that the agency is aiming for which will be the bases for monitoring and evaluating the agency's accomplishments and achievements on GAD.
	Results refer to the change that has occurred after implementing the activity. The two types of results are the immediate results of the activity (output) and the more distant change (outcome) that are anticipated or actually have occurred as a result of a series of related activities and achieving a combination of outputs.
Column (6)	Performance Indicator
	The objective of this action is to identify the quantitative and qualitative measures of progress vis-à-vis the achievement of the targets set by the agency.
	Quantitative indicators are measures or evidences that can be counted while qualitative indicators are measures or evidences that provide meaning and understanding of the clients' experiences.
Column (7)	GAD Budget
	The objective of this action is to determine the amount to be allocated by the agency for the implementation of its GAD activities contained in the fourth column.

 

 The objective of this action is to determine the amount to be allocated by the agency for the implementation of its GAD activities contained in the fourth column.

BP 600-A: GAD ACCOMPLISHMENT REPORT

Column (1)	Programs/Activities/Projects
	Agencies which have reviewed their programs/activities/projects for gender-responsiveness will proceed by filling up all the sections. Beginners in gender mainstreaming or those agencies which have yet to create the environment supportive of gender mainstreaming will start with the second section of the form. Beginners in gender mainstreaming are those which have yet to: make key people in the agency appreciate and understand gender; formulate internal policies that will support gender mainstreaming in the agency; create mechanisms for GAD such as Focal Point and trainers' pool; and develop sex-disaggregated databases.
	To assess the progress in gender mainstreaming, agencies may use the "Gender Mainstreaming and Evaluation Framework" (GMEF). It is a self-assessment tool which will help agencies determine where they are in the gender mainstreaming continuum and formulate measures towards progress. The GMEF is available for viewing and free download at www.ncrfw.gov.ph. Hard copies may be purchased at the NCRFW library.
	Entries to this section shall include the title, objectives, target clientele, and the total budget of the program, project or mainstream activities.
Column (2)	Gender Issue
	An issue may be reported as a gender issue if it:
	•	articulates the extent of disparity of women and men over benefits from and contribution to a program and/or project of the agency (Client-Focused Issues), or
	•	points to the gap in the capacity of the organization to integrate a gender dimension in the activities of its programs and projects (Organization-Focused Issues).
	A gender issue is best drawn from a gender analysis or diagnosis and is supported by data and statistics. The supporting data tells about the extent and magnitude of the gender issue or bias being presented.
Column (3)	GAD Activity
	The GAD activity is a component of the regular programs, activities and projects of the agency. An activity may be reported as a GAD activity if it seeks to:
	•	promote the equality between women and men in the distribution of benefits and the opportunity to contribute to an agency program or project; and/or
	•	address the gaps in knowledge, skills, and attitudes of key personnel on gender mainstreaming.
	It is important to note that in most areas of life, there are significant disparities between women and men. In order to address the disparities, agencies have to uphold positive actions to promote the interest of women. For example, in promoting women's participation and involvement in farmer's cooperatives, it is not of value for agencies to target and report 50% men and 50% women as participants since this will not change the existing status of women as against men. In the same token, activities that target women without clear articulation as to how they will contribute to closing in gender gaps are likewise of little value. Examples of this are: procurement of violet uniforms for the agency's women choral group members, laser tooth extraction for employees, purchase of mineral water for employees, and construction of structures such as covered path walks and tennis court.
	GAD activities may target women, men or both. Activities that have targeted men may be reported as GAD activity for as long as the objective is to correct gender disparities as in the case of establishing a network of men against sexual harassment in the workplace or training and encouraging men to share in parenting and child-rearing responsibilities.
	Agencies, especially those which are new in gender mainstreaming may report activities that are intended to develop or strengthen their institutional capacity for gender mainstreaming.
Column (4)	Results
	This section shall reflect the consequences of the activity that has been conducted. It shall provide a description of the change that has occurred after implementing the activity. There are two types of results that have to be reported. The immediate results of the activity (output) and the more distant change (outcome) that are anticipated or actually have occurred as a result of a series of related activities and achieving a combination of outputs. In cases where many activities are required to come up with an output, it is recommended that the agency reflects all these activities in the report.
Column (5)	Cost
	To avoid double counting and attributing the entire program or project cost as GAD Budget, agencies will only report the actual cost for the conduct of the GAD activities. The agency shall specify whether the funding was sourced from overseas donors or from the GAA or from both.
Column (6)	Remarks
	Agencies are encouraged to report any deviation from their proposed plan and budget and provide the reasons for the deviation as well as the factors that have facilitated or hindered the implementation of gender mainstreaming in the agency.
