Good day! It would be very much appreciated to have some clarifications on my inquiries regarding the new EO on travel allowance of government employee. Our official station is Bicol Region (1,500) and usual destination of seminar is Manila (2,200).
1. Since Daily Travel Expense is based on destination, does this mean that when going back to our station, we will be using the allowance of 1,500?
How about for destinations which need to pass on Manila area? Does this mean rates will change every day depending on the destination even though that is not the final destination? Example: Official

Dear MS. CADA:
This refers to your Request for Information (RFI) dated May 31, 2019 seeking some clarifications relative to the new Executive Order No. 77 dated March 15, 2019 entitled “Prescribing Rules and Regulations and Rates of Expenses and Allowances for Official Local and Foreign Travels of Government Personnel.”
Your first inquiry concerns on whether the Daily Travel Expense (DTE) at the maximum rate of Php 1,500.00 will be used when going back to your permanent official station, Region V (Bicol), from your place of destination which is Manila with a rate of Php 2,200.00? Follow-up inquiry is on whether the maximum allowable DTE will change every day depending on the destination, particularly those destinations which need to pass through Manila area.
Under paragraph a(i) of Section 21 of EO No. 77, “The Implementing Rules and Regulations on Local and Foreign Travels of Personnel in NGAs, including SUCs, GOCCs, GFIs, and LGUs,” it provides that:
(a) Subject to the pertinent provisions of this Order:
(i) Department Secretaries and those of equivalent rank shall
cause the preparation and issuance of internal guidelines on
local and foreign travels of personnel in NGAs, including SUCs,
GOCCs, and GFIs under or attached to their respective departments
/agencies, in order to (i.a) provide additional safeguards as are best
suited to agency conditions, (i.b) address agency peculiarities, and
(i.c) ensure the judicious use of public funds;
Based on the above provision, the Department Secretaries and those of equivalent rank, in your case, the SUC President, shall cause the preparation and issuance of internal guidelines on local and foreign travels of their personnel.
A copy of EO No. 77 is hereto attached for your reference.
We hope we have adequately responded to your inquiry. Thank you.
Very truly yours,
ANTONIO F. VILLANUEVA, JR.
