July 25, 2008

5. Granting of Hardship Allowance giving to several public schools teachers was not in accord with the special provisions of the General Appropriations Act of 2003, rendering the payments made in the sum of P300,132.08 irregular.

In the post-audit of transactions charged to special education fund disclosed payments of hardship allowance to locally funded public school teachers assigned in the remote areas, as follows:

The special provisions of the 2003 General Appropriations Act provides entitlement of hardship allowance to public school teachers assigned to remote areas accessible only by hiking, animal ride or banca. There being no more public school in Iligan City located in remote areas accessible only by hiking, animal ride or banca, grant of said allowance is not proper.

Recommendation:

For want of legal basis and pending the resolution of the issue, henceforth, payment of hardship allowance to public school teachers shall be put to hold.
