MATEO Undersecretary SUBJECT: Clarifications on the Issuance of NOSCA for Sa ‘Pinas Ikaw Ang Ma’am at Sir (SPIMS) Employment Program Beneficiaries for SY 2019-2020 DATE: 23 September 2019 The approval by the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) of the Department's request for creation of ten thousand (10,000) new teaching positions for Kindergarten to Grade 12 for SY 2019-2020 was communicated by this Office to the DepEd field offices through Memorandum DM-PFO-2019-00500 dated June 4, 2019. The Memorandum was disseminated by the Planning Service-Planning and Programming Division (PS-PPD) to all Regional Offices (ROs) through e-mail. This included the electronic copies of the Deployment Report and list of Sa ‘Pinas Ikaw ang Ma’am at Sir (SPIMS) Employment Program beneficiaries. Kindly note that the Memorandum directed that “upon receipt of the deployment reports, the RO shall immediately forward the report to the concerned SDOs.” ‘The implementation of the SPIMS Employment Program is governed by an inter-agency Memorandum of Cooperation dated September 23, 2015. Under Item B.4 of Article 2 (Responsibilities of the Parties), DepEd is expected to “act upon and/or facilitate in an expeditious manner, the hiring and employment of the qualified registrants as bona fide professional teachers”. In the past few weeks, however, the DOLE-National Reintegration Center for OFWs has repeatedly called the attention of this Office to the non-deployment of numerous SPIMS beneficiaries in various SDOs, allegedly due to the non-issuance of Notice of Organization, Staffing, and Compensation Action (NOSCA) by the DBM-RO- ‘To ensure that the Department adequately fulfills its responsibilities consistent with the aforementioned Memorandum of Cooperation, this Office reiterates the directives under DM-PFO-2019-00500 which clearly states that “concerned SDOs shall accommodate the recipients of the ‘Sa Pinas kaw ang Mam at Sir (SPIMS) Employment Program. This is in fulfillment of DepEd’s obligations under the Memorandum of Cooperation between the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), the Philippine Normal University (PNU), and other concerned agencies. Attached for ready reference is the deployment report of the qualified S-PPD/Briones epee Complex, Meralco Ave., Pasig City 1600 Hil623-72064 631-8404 88 wwnw.cened.cov.ohbeneficiaries with contact details and corresponding school assignments. Hence, concerned SDOs are instructed to advise the recipients regarding their school assignment and the documentary requirements that need to be submitted.” All officials and personnel at the DepEd ROs and ‘SDOs involved in the deployment of SPIMS beneficiaries are requested to carefully take note of the following clarifications: 1. NOSCA for ALL newly-created teaching items for SY 2019-2020 are expected to have already been issued by the DBM-ROs between June to August 2019. This includes the teaching items allocated for the SPIMS Employment Program. 2. NOSCA do not bear the names of specific beneficiaries. Administrative Officers handling the function of Human Resource Management Officers (HRMOs) shall refer to the Deployment Report in determining the number of newly-created teaching items that shall be filled up through the regular hiring process as well as those which shall be filled up through the deployment of SPIMS beneficiaries. 3, The Deployment Report is an Excel spreadsheet which includes an inventory sheet bearing the names of SPIMS beneficiaries as well as their contact details and school assignment. No realignments/changes should be made to the beneficiary's school assignment as this was determined through a school selection process. 4, The 561 SPIMS beneficiaries identified for deployment in SY 2019-2020 are the 2nd batch of beneficiaries duly endorsed by DOLE in FY 2018. However, as the teaching items allocated for 2018 had already been fully exhausted at the time of endorsement, their deployment was programmed for FY 2019. Inthe event that the FY 2019 teaching items allocated for the SPIMS Employment Program have been inadvertently utilized in the regular hiring process, teaching items left vacant through natural vacancy should be immediately utilized in order to deploy the SPIMS beneficiaries identified in the Deployment Reports. The list of SPIMS beneficiaries and their respective school assignments is hereby attached, for the ready reference of HRMOs. For clarifications and other concerns, you may contact Ms. Zaida Fe Briones of PS-PPD at the following telephone numbers: (02) 633-7216 or 638-8634. For immediate action and strict compliance.
