To qualify, an agency must earn an overall score of at least 70 points under the scoring system prescribed in the memorandum circular (MC) issued on July 3.

Agencies that receive a rating below 4 in any eligibility criterion, however, will face exclusions.

The MC states that units and individuals—including the head of the concerned unit—found to be primarily responsible for any deficiency will be “isolated and excluded from the grant of the FY 2024 PBB.” (PNA)
