EO No. 77

Requested from DBM by V. Punzalan at 09:39 AM on Mar 12, 2020.
Purpose: Allocation for Daily Travel Expense
Date of Coverage: 03/11/2020 - 03/12/2020
Tracking no: #DBM-541559729967

Punzalan 09:39 AM, Mar 12, 2020 

According to  Section 6b(ii) of EO No. 77, "Meals in an amount not exceeding the 30% of the authorized meal component of the DTE as indicated in Section 5 hereof."

Our Office (NGA) is located in NCR thus, this section will apply. However, our auditor interpreted the mentioned clause as:
Meal allowance not exceeding the 30% OF THE 30% of 2,200 (which is 660) or 198 pesos only.

In line with this, I would like to ask for clarification regarding this matter. It is fair and reasonable that field travels within NCR can also avail the 30% of 2,200.

Thanks.
