Supreme Court Circular No. 18-87
On July 29, 1987, the Supreme Court issued Circular No. 18-87 to address complaints about the salary disbursement process for lower court judges and personnel. The previous method required salaries to be funneled through the Philippine National Bank (PNB) for local remittance, which led to complications. The new procedure mandates that starting August 1987, salaries for those paid via Bulk Purchase Order will be issued in the form of PNB checks, which can be encashed at any PNB branch nationwide. These checks will be printed and mailed to the respective courts by the Disbursement Division of the Supreme Court.
