A total of PhP450 million was recommended to be included in the Pension and Gratuity Fund under the FY 2022 National Expenditure Program to cover the payment for the retirement/separation incentives and terminal leave benefits of personnel who may be affected by the full devolution. However, the NG would like to clarify that this is an organizational effectiveness program and not a rationalization program, and thus, is not expected to cause much disruption and displacement in the bureaucracy. Affected personnel may be redeployed to other offices/units within the Executive branch, or may apply to an LGU after retiring/separating from the NG.
