Government employees are expected to perform their duties and responsibilities effectively and efficiently.  The government in return, acknowledges hard work and grants benefits such as leave privileges.  The Omnibus Rules on Leave consolidates & updates all laws & administrative issuances relative to leave Administration in government sector. Non-Teaching personnel in DepEd are entitled to 15 days vacation and 15 days sick leave annually.  On the other hand, Teachers engaged in actual classroom teaching are under Teacher’s Leave basis.  The subsequent paragraphs will expound everything you should know about Teacher’s Leave.
Who is a Teacher? The term “teacher” refers to teachers who do not have to report for classes during Christmas and long summer vacation and still be entitled to their regular compensation as defined under DepEd Order No. 53, s. 2003.
On Teacher’s Leave. Teachers are not entitled to the usual vacation and sick leave credits but to Proportional Vacation Pay (PVP).  The total PVP that shall be earned by teachers shall be based by the computation to be provided by DepEd every school year. A teacher who has rendered continuous service in a school year without incurring absences without pay of not more than 1½ days is entitled to the total PVP earned from the number of summer and Christmas vacation days as determined by the DepEd.(sec. 6 of CSC MC No. 41, s. 1998 as amended by CSC MC No. 9, s. 2012)

Gov’t workers granted 5-day special calamity leave

THE CIVIL Service Commission (CSC) has issued a resolution granting a five-day special emergency leave for government employees directly affected by natural calamities or disasters.
“With the increasing risks brought about by climate change and global warming, the Commission saw it necessary to offer assistance to state workers affected by natural calamities in the form of special leave. We hope that this would give affected employees respite and ample time to recover,” said CSC Chair Francisco T. Duque III.
In CSC Resolution No. 1200289 issued on February 8, state workers in officially-declared calamity areas may avail of the special emergency leave for five straight working days or on staggered basis. Said special leave is separate and will not be deducted from the employee’s leave credits, and may be availed of within 30 days from the first day of calamity declaration by proper government authorities.
A natural calamity or disaster may include “earthquakes, flooding, volcanic eruption and landslide that have profound environmental effect and/or human loss and frequently cause financial loss”.
The leave may be used by employees stranded in affected areas, for urgent repair and clean-up of damaged house, for recovery from disease/illness, or for caring for immediate family members affected by natural calamity.
The CSC policy orders heads of offices to take full responsibility in granting special emergency leave and in verifying the employee’s eligibility to avail of such.

Vacation Service Credits. Sec. 9, MC 41,s.1998 defines Vacation Service Credits as the leave credits earned for services rendered on activities, during summer or Christmas vacation, as authorized by proper authority.  These vacation service credits are used to offset absences of a teacher due to illness or to offset proportional deduction in vacation salary due to absences for personal reasons or late appointment.
When funds are not available for the grant of additional compensation or overtime pay, VACATION SERVICE CREDITS may be granted for services rendered beyond the required working hours during school days, which is exclusive of the 15 days limitation under DepEd Order No. 53, s. 2003.
Request for Service Credits accompanied by Accomplishment Report and Daily Time Record (DTR) shall be accomplished and submitted after completion of vacation service.  Vacation Service Credit shall not be granted for services rendered without previous authority.

Teachers who are designated to perform non-teaching functions and who render the same hours of service as other employees shall be entitled to vacation and sick leave as provided for under CSC MC No. 41, s. 1998.
School/District Property Custodians.  Teachers designated on part-time basis as Property Custodians and who are required to render services during the summer vacation to conduct property inventory after the closing and before the opening of classes shall likewise be granted Vacation Service Credits of not more than 15 days, also exclusive of the 15 days limitation.
ALS Mobile Teachers. DepEd Order No. 64, s. 2011 provides Equal Opportunities and Standard Implementation of DepEd Policies for the ALS Implementors.  The ALS Teacher, better known as Mobile Teacher, and District ALS Coordinator (DALSC) follows a flexible teaching schedule without summer vacation and different teaching hours to meet the learning needs of the ALS learners, the Mobile Teacher/DALSC is entitled to earn leave credits and avail of the privilege of monetization of leave credits.
Other Leave Benefits. Other Leave benefits of teachers such as Study Leave and Indefinite Sick Leave are covered by Section 24 and 25 of RA 4670 (Magna Carta for Public School Teachers).
Study Leave of not exceeding one (1) school year may be granted to teachers who have rendered at least seven (7) years in service. A teacher shall be entitled to at least 65% of his monthly salary provided he takes regular study load & passes at least 75% of the courses.  Study leave of more than one (1) year shall be permitted by the DepEd Secretary but without compensation.
Indefinite Leave is granted to Teachers when the nature of the illness demands a long treatment that will exceed one year at the least.  A teacher applying for indefinite sick leave of absence should submit a Medical Certificate (CS Form 41) and CS Form 6 (Application for Leave) stating the approximate maximum number of days he expects to be on leave, subject to change as the government physician may recommend.


Rehabilitation leave is a leave privilege granted to allow qualified government officials and employees to recuperate from wounds or injuries sustained while in the performance of duties.

Performance of duty means situations where the employee is already at work. It may also cover situations where the employee or official meets an accident while engaged in activities inherent to his/her work including being on official travel, official business outside work station, authorized overtime, detail or special assignment. Injuries from accidents that occurred while going to work and going home from work may be considered sustained while in the performance of official duties.

What is rehabilitation leave?
Rehabilitation leave is a leave privilege granted to allow qualified government officials and employees to recuperate from wounds or injuries sustained while in the performance of duties.
What is meant by “performance of duty”?
Performance of duty means situations where the employee is already at work. It may also cover situations where the employee or official meets an accident while engaged in activities inherent to his/her work including being on official travel, official business outside work station, authorized overtime, detail or special assignment. Injuries from accidents that occurred while going to work and going home from work may be considered sustained while in the performance of official duties.
Who may avail of this leave?
All government personnel with permanent, temporary, casual, or contractual appointments, including those with fixed terms of office may avail of this leave. Consultants and those hired under contract of service or job order cannot avail because they are not considered government employees.
What is the duration of this type of leave?
Rehabilitation leave is for a maximum of six months. the duration, frequency and terms of availing this type of leave will be based on the recommendation of a medical authority. Therefore, it can be for less than six months, or may be on half-time basis, or intermittent schedule for as long as the total period will not exceed six months.
Will my accumulated leave credits be deducted while I’m on rehabilitation leave?
No. Absences from work during the period of rehabilitation will not be deducted from the accumulated sick or vacation leave credits of the employee/officer.
Will I be earning leave credits while on rehabilitation leave?
No. While on rehabilitation leave, the employee or officer will not earn/accumulate vacation and sick leave credits.
Will I receive my salaries and benefits while on rehabilitation leave?
 Yes. Those who avail of this privilege will receive their salaries and regular benefits such as Personnel Economic Relief Allowance (PERA), Additional Compensation (AdCom), year-end bonus, and cash gifts mandated by law. However, benefits which are enjoyed based on actual performance of duties such as representation and transportation allowances (RATA) will not be received.
I was given first-aid at the time I was injured on work and I incurred out-of-pocket expenses for it. Will I be reimbursed?
Claimants of this privilege are entitled to reimbursement by their agency for first-aid expenses, preferably in government facilities. Reimbursement, however, is subject to the availability of funds and must not exceed P5,000.00 unless expenditures beyond that amount are necessary as certified by medical authorities and approved by the agency head. To be clear, firs-aid refers to the basic medical treatment given immediately to the hurt/injured person.
How do I apply for Rehabilitation Leave?
Within 1 week from the accident or injury, a letter-application for rehabilitation leave must be filed with the agency head, unless a longer period is warranted. The letter must be accompanied with relevant supporting documents such as police report (if any) and medical certificate indicating the nature of injuries, course of treatment involved and need to undergo rest/recuperation/rehabilitation. If the attending physician is a private practitioner, concurrence from a government physician must be obtained particularly on the need and period of rehabilitation needed.
Is the approval by the agency head discretionary?
Yes. The agency head will have to determine whether the injuries were really incurred while in the performance of duties. If not, the application will be disapproved because he/she will be held responsible and personally liable for false or fraudulent claims and irregular availing of the privilege.
I developed my osteoarthritis due to the nature of my work and now my doctor says I need 1 month to rest, will I be eligible for Rehabilitation leave?
Unfortunately not. Illness or sickness resulting from or aggravated by working conditions or the work environment cannot be a basis for availing of the privilege even if it is compensable under the law and regulations of the Employees Compensation Commission. (CSC Decision No. 140542, Alfredo R. Rodolfo, July 17, 2014)

DBM: Gov't employees to receive 14th month pay

April 29, 2016, 2:17 am

0

Government employees will receive a 14th month pay on May 15, the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) said Friday.


This is a mid-year bonus equivalent to a month's basic salary, in line with Executive Order (EO) No. 201 signed by President Benigno S.C Aquino III in February.

A Budget Circular issued by Budget Secretary Florencio "Butch" Abad on Thursday, specified the employees who would get their 14th month pay next month.


All government employees ( civilian and military) will be given additional bonuses.

Covered by Budget Circular No. 2016-3 are all positions for civilian personnel, whether regular, casual, or contractual in nature, appointive or elective, full-time or part-time.

"Eight in every 10 civilian personnel will receive their mid-year bonus in full, or tax-free under Republic Act 10653, which provides that gross benefits such as the 13th month pay and other benefits not exceeding P82,000 shall be tax exempt," Abad said in a separate statement Friday.


“These means the majority of civilian personnel will take home their mid-year bonus in full. They are the 970,943 civilian employees belonging to Salary Grades 1 to 16,” he added.

Also included are military personnel of the Armed Forces of the Philippines under the Department of National Defense and uniformed personnel of the Philippine National Police, Philippine Public Safety College, Bureau of Fire Protection, and Bureau of Jail Management and Penology of the Department of Interior and Local Government.

Uniformed personnel of the Philippine Coast Guard and National Mapping and Resource Information Authority will also receive additional bonuses.

The DBM said an employee must have rendered at least a total or an aggregate of four months of service from July 1, 2015 to May 15, 2016 to get a bonus.


They must also have obtained at least a satisfactory performance rating in the immediately preceding period, and must still be in active service as of May 15.

However, employees of government-owned and -controlled companies are not covered by the circular as they are classified under the Compensation and Position Classification System under E.O. 203 which the President signed last month.

"The amounts required for the grant of FY 2016 Mid-Year Bonus to personnel of National Government Agencies (NGAs) shall be charged against the Miscellaneous Personnel Benefits Fund," the circular read.


"The DBM shall issue the corresponding Notice of Cash Allocation to cover the Mid-Year Bonus of agency personnel to be given not earlier than May 15 of the current year, subject to the provisions of National Budget Circular No. 561 dated January 4, 2016 on the release of funds," it added. – Jon Viktor Cabuenas/VDS, GMA News

The Department of Budget and Management has issued the specific guidelines on the grant of the P31 billion Mid-Year Bonus of government employees mandated under Executive Order No. 201. The majority of government employees will receive their bonus tax-free, according to Budget Secretary Florencio B. Abad.
“Eight in every ten civilian personnel will receive their mid-year bonus in full, or tax-free under Republic Act 10653, which provides that gross benefits such as the 13th month pay and other benefits not exceeding P82,000 shall be tax exempt,” Abad said.
“These means the majority of civilian personnel will take home their mid-year bonus in full. They are the 970,943 civilian employees belonging to Salary Grades 1 to 16,” Abad added.
Executive Order No. 201 approved by President Aquino on February 19, 2016 provides that a Mid-Year Bonus equivalent to one month basic salary as of May 15 shall be granted to all positions for civilian personnel as well as military and uniformed personnel (MUP).
Budget Circular 2016-3 provides the rules and regulations on the grant of said bonus to all civilian positions whether regular, casual, or contractual in nature, appointive or elective, full-time or part time, as well as MUP. The bonus shall be given not earlier than May 15, 2016.
Funding requirement for regular personnel of national government agencies shall be charged against MPBF based on the number of filled positions in the Government Manpower Information System as of April 30, 2016.  The requirement for casuals and contractual personnel shall be charged against the agency lump sum appropriation from which the salaries of these employees are drawn.
To be entitled, an employee must have rendered at least a total or an aggregate of 4 months of service from July 1, 2015 to May 15, 2016, obtained at least a satisfactory performance rating in the immediately preceding period, and should still be in the service as of May 15.
Those with less than four months of service, or those that are no longer in the service as of May 15, shall not be entitled to the bonus.
For GOCCs, the governing board shall determine the grant of the bonus charged against approved corporate operating budgets. If funds are insufficient, they may grant at lower rates but at uniform percentage of the basic monthly salary as of May 15.
For LGUs, the Sanggunian shall determine the grant of the bonus charged against, and subject to the Personnel Services limitation in, LGU budgets. They may also grant at lower rates but at uniform percentage of the basic monthly salary as of May 15, if funds are insufficient.

CSC: Liking and sharing a candidate or party's account is not prohibited

Gov't employees reminded: You can't campaign for candidates, even on FB

Government employees are barred from campaigning for or against particular candidates — even on social media — but are free to share personal political views.

These provisions are part of a joint circular issued by the Commission on Elections and the Civil Service Commission for the May polls, which was signed by Comelec Chairman Andres Bautista and CSC chairperson Alicia dela Rosa-Bala on Tuesday.

"It's very clear, 'di ba, sabi niya (circular), even if you follow a candidate's account, [puwede] unless these are resorted to a means to solicit support for or against a candidate or party during the campaign period," Dela Rosa-Bala said.

She added: "Kung sabihin [mo] kung sino ang iboboto [mo], that's not covered because that's part of your expression of your choice for the positions being voted for... 'Pag sinabi mong 'I'm voting for Candidate X,' that's not part of the coverage. [Pero iba] if you're asking, 'Please vote for the candidate I'm voting for.'"

Government employees are allowed "social media functions such as liking, commenting, sharing, reposting, or following a candidate or party's account" provided that they do not "directly or indirectly" campaign for their preferred candidates.

They are also allowed to express their views on current political problems or issues, as well as mention the name of the candidates or parties they support.

Partisan political activities

In a bid for "political neutrality" during election season, however, civil servants are prohibited from certain activities, which include forming groups and holding assemblies to solicit votes or campaigning.

They are not allowed to take part in political conventions, nor be a "consistent presence" in political rallies, caucuses, or be identified with candidates or political parties. They are also not allowed to distribute letters "indicating intention to run for public office."

Government employees are also not allowed to receive contributions for political purposes, nor give personal, financial, or other monetary contribution for a candidate or party's campaign. 

They are also not allowed to wear shirts, pins, caps, or other similar paraphernalia to support a candidate or a party, or serve as watchers on election day.

Moreover, they are prohibited from utilizing government resources such as personnel, time, properties for campaigning.

The violations committed by government employees may be seen as an administrative offense under the CSC and as election offense under Comelec. 

The penalties range from suspension to dismissal, imprisonment, disqualification from public office, and "deprivation of right to vote."

Elected officials, political appointees exempted

Prohibitions on electioneering and partisan political activities cover members of the civil service in all branches of government, including government owned or controlled corporations (GOCCs), and state universities and colleges whether their appointments are permanent, temporary, contractual, or even casual.

Career officers holding political offices in an acting capacity, uniformed and active members of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and the Philippine National Police (PNP) are also barred from partisan politics.
Employees who are on leave are still covered by the circular.

The limitations, however, do not apply to elected officials—except those at the barangay level—as well as political appointees, which includes the President and the Vice President, Cabinet officials, members of Congress, and local elective officials, their personal and confidential staff  and members of the AFP's reserve corps. — BAP/JST, GMA News

The Department of Budget and Management has issued the specific guidelines on the grant of the P31 billion Mid-Year Bonus of government employees mandated under Executive Order No. 201. The majority of government employees will receive their bonus tax-free, according to Budget Secretary Florencio B. Abad. READ GUIDELINES HERE

This is a mid-year bonus equivalent to a month's basic salary, in line with Executive Order (EO) No. 201 signed by President Benigno S.C Aquino III in February.


A Budget Circular issued by Budget Secretary Florencio "Butch" Abad on Thursday, specified the employees who would get their 14th month pay next month.

All government employees ( civilian and military) will be given additional bonuses.


Covered by Budget Circular No. 2016-3 are all positions for civilian personnel, whether regular, casual, or contractual in nature, appointive or elective, full-time or part-time.

"Eight in every 10 civilian personnel will receive their mid-year bonus in full, or tax-free under Republic Act 10653, which provides that gross benefits such as the 13th month pay and other benefits not exceeding P82,000 shall be tax exempt," Abad said in a separate statement Friday.

“These means the majority of civilian personnel will take home their mid-year bonus in full. They are the 970,943 civilian employees belonging to Salary Grades 1 to 16,” he added.


Also included are military personnel of the Armed Forces of the Philippines under the Department of National Defense and uniformed personnel of the Philippine National Police, Philippine Public Safety College, Bureau of Fire Protection, and Bureau of Jail Management and Penology of the Department of Interior and Local Government.


Uniformed personnel of the Philippine Coast Guard and National Mapping and Resource Information Authority will also receive additional bonuses.

The DBM said an employee must have rendered at least a total or an aggregate of four months of service from July 1, 2015 to May 15, 2016 to get a bonus.

They must also have obtained at least a satisfactory performance rating in the immediately preceding period, and must still be in active service as of May 15.

However, employees of government-owned and -controlled companies are not covered by the circular as they are classified under the Compensation and Position Classification System under E.O. 203 which the President signed last month.

"The amounts required for the grant of FY 2016 Mid-Year Bonus to personnel of National Government Agencies (NGAs) shall be charged against the Miscellaneous Personnel Benefits Fund," the circular read.

"The DBM shall issue the corresponding Notice of Cash Allocation to cover the Mid-Year Bonus of agency personnel to be given not earlier than May 15 of the current year, subject to the provisions of National Budget Circular No. 561 dated January 4, 2016 on the release of funds," it added. – Jon Viktor Cabuenas/VDS, GMA News

CEBU, Philippines -  The Commission on Elections-Cebu has assured all 12,000 Board of Election Inspectors (BEIs), including those in Cebu City, that they would be paid of their honoraria right after the May 9 elections through cash cards.
Lawyer Eliseo Labaria, acting Comelec-Cebu provincial election supervisor, clarified this after Comelec-Cebu City reported a possible delay in the distribution of the BEI's honoraria. He said what was referred to was the counterpart amount from the city government, not the honoraria from Comelec. 
He said the poll body has allotted sufficient budget for the BEIs, who each would get from Comelec P6,500  in honorarium.
The BEIs carry important roles during elections. They are responsible for the conduct of voting and counting of votes in their respective polling places, and act as deputies of Comelec in the supervision and control of the elections in polling place where they are assigned.
In the elections this Monday, at least three teachers are assigned per clustered precincts. Comelec records show that there are 4,066 clustered precincts and 1,182 voting centers in Cebu.
Under Comelec Resolution No. 10031, the chairperson and members of the BEIs shall each receive a total of P4,500 as three-day per diem; transportation allowance; and for doing the verification and sealing of the Book of Voters, and final testing and sealing of vote counting machines. Comelec recently decided to add P2,000 more.
Labaria said the payment is through Land Bank of the Philippines prepaid cards, which are now at the Comelec-Cebu office. The BEIs applied for the opening of the said cards.
Labaria said the cards, which are seen to prevent delay in the release and even of missing cash, would be distributed after the BEIs return all election paraphernalia to his office.
In the past elections, allowances for the teachers rendering poll duties were given in cash distributed by election officers.
Around 300,000 public school teachers would administer the elections in more than 95,000 clustered polling precincts nationwide.
With over 2.7 million registered voters, Cebu has the biggest number of voters among all provinces in the country. The figure is eight percent higher than the 2.5 million registrants during the 2013 elections.
In Central Visayas, it is followed by Bohol with 798,768; Negros Oriental with 785,712; and Siquijior with 68,998.
Meanwhile, the Comelec has already started distributing the vote-counting machines (VCMs) to the different polling places in Cebu, particularly those in the islands of Bantayan and Camotes.
Today, it would distribute VCMs to the rest of the province. Every polling precinct needs one VCM.
Labaria said extra VCMs were also on standby in the event that a particular machine bogs down.
The 50 contingency VCMs, he said, were prepositioned in "accessible" areas to avoid delays.
"Gi-preposition ni nato tanan ang contingency units sa lugar nga dali ra ma-access aron madali mapulihan kun naay madaot. Kay ang experience nato sa una sa Camotes naay naguba human ang contingency unit naa sa Cebu so nalangan 'nuon," he said.
Labaria said the extra units will surely be distributed in the islands of Bantayan and Camotes and other far-flung areas.
Also, Labaria urged voters to report incidences of vote buying with proofs like photos and affidavits.
"Dapat naa gyod tay ika-present nga evidence aron mo-prosper ang kaso. Of course ang ni-testigo atong hatagan og immunity batok sa politikong naghatag," he said. — (FREEMAN)

INC endorses Duterte, Marcos

MANILA (UPDATE) – The influential religious group Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) is endorsing Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte for president and Senator Ferdinand ''Bongbong'' Marcos Jr. for vice president in next week's elections.
Members of the INC were told last night by the INC leadership to vote as one, after which they were given sample ballots.

A copy of the sample ballot sent to ANC had the name of Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte for president and Senator Bongbong Marcos for vice-president.

A news report by INC-run Eagle News also confirmed the endorsement.
'' The moment INC members receive that decision — since we are fully convinced about the biblical basis for upholding unity — we will abide by that decision,” EagleNews quoted INC spokesman Edwil Zabala as saying.
The sample ballot also had the names of 12 senatorial candidates. In the EagleNews report, the twelve who got the Iglesia endorsement are: Joel Villanueva, Richard Gordon, Franklin Drilon, Risa Hontiveros, Francis Tolentino, Martin Romualdez, Ralph Recto, Manny Pacquiao, Vicente Sotto, Sherwin Gatchalian, Panfilo Lacson and Migz Zubiri.
Duterte, the current front runner in presidential voter preference surveys, said he met with INC executive minister Eduardo Manalo last April 22.
Marcos, who is tied with administration bet Leni Robredo in the latest ABS-CBN survey conducted by Pulse Asia, met with Manalo last April 26.
Duterte's opponents Jejomar Binay, Mar Roxas, Grace Poe, and Miriam Defensor Santiago also met with Manalo. President Benigno Aquino III also had a meeting with Manalo, in what was seen as an effort to boost the chances of administration bet Roxas.
An INC source told ABS-CBN News that an internal survey among INC members, which Duterte reportedly topped, was a key factor in the decision of the INC leadership to support the Davao mayor.
INC requires its members to vote as one, in accordance with the church's beliefs and the importance it places on unity.
Eagle News reported that Manalo, in a circular, reminded all the INC brethren ''to follow God’s teachings on unity when they go to the polls on May 9."
INC BLOC-VOTING STRENGTH
Social Weather Stations (SWS) president Mahar Mangahas, in an Inquirer column last September, estimated the voting strength of the INC in the May 2016 elections to be 1.7 million.
"[The] proportionate strength of INC voters was about four and one-fourth percent of the electorate in 2010. My guess is that it will be the same in 2016. Assuming population growth of 2 percent per year, a number of 1.5 million votes in May 2010 would become 1.7 million votes by May 2016," Mangahas said in his column.
"This does not allow for either conversions to INC or withdrawals from INC. So I think that the claim of 2.0 million INC votes for 2016 is an overstatement."
The INC leadership endorsed then Senator Benigno ''Noynoy'' Aquino in 2010, incumbent President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo in 2004, and then Vice-President Joseph Estrada in 1998. All of them won.
In the 1992 elections, the INC supported businessman Eduardo ''Danding'' Cojuangco, candidate of the Nationalist People's Coalition, who ended up third behind Fidel Ramos and Miriam Defensor Santiago.
Mangahas, citing the 2010 exit poll, said "Catholics went 43.4 percent for Noynoy Aquino and 28.2 percent for Erap Estrada, whereas INCs went 77.1 percent for Aquino and 12.0 percent for Estrada."
"In the vice presidential election, on the other hand, Catholics went 43.8 percent for Jejomar Binay and 39.8 percent for Mar Roxas, whereas INCs went 17.6 percent for Binay and 73.8 percent for Roxas. Roxas’ great 56-point advantage among INCs did not overcome Binay’s mere 4-point advantage among Catholics, since Catholics were over 74 percent of the voters."
DUTERTE KEEPS WIDE LEAD
The INC's endorsement emerged following the release of the results of the latest Pulse Asia survey commissioned by ABS-CBN.
Duterte kept his 33% rating for a 2nd week in a row, in the April 26-29, 2016 survey.
Administration standard-bearer Mar Roxas is in a statistical tie for second place with Senator Grace Poe.
Roxas got 22%, 11 percentage points behind Duterte and 2 points up from his previous rating, while Poe got 21%, a point below her previous 22% rating.
Vice President Jejomar Binay polled 17%, a point down from his previous 18% rating.
Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago got a 2% rating for a second week in a row.
In the vice-presidential race, Camarines Sur Rep. Leni Robredo now shares the lead with Marcos after getting a 30% voter preference rating, which is 4 points higher than her rating in the previous ABS-CBN Pulse Asia survey conducted on April 19-24.
Marcos got 28%, down 3 points from the previous survey. Senators Francis Escudero (18%) and Alan Peter Cayetano (15%) didn't see changes in their ratings. Senators Antonio Trillanes IV and Gringo Honasan had 3% and 2% ratings, respectively.
