A budget is basically an entire program of revenue, cost planning, and control activities. It summarizes all expenditures, from personnel services to materials up to machine requirements. Budget may also address the adoption of new methodologies that may require a large sum of cash outlay. It also serves as a push to all managers to take time to formulate strategies, targets, and goals geared towards its effective use. This Corporate Budget Manual lays down the policy statements, guidelines, and procedures employed by the Philippine National Oil Company–Own with regard to budget allocation. It shall serve as a guide to proper allocation of funds. Any revision to procedures stipulated in this Manual should be approved by the Corporate Planning Department in coordination with affected units. Amendments concerning policies, rules, and regulations shall be subject to the approval of the Board of Directors. With regard to amendments concerning systems and procedures, the President & CEO, thru the SVP-MS, is the approving authority. The Internal Control Office shall have custody over this Manual and shall be responsible for effecting and attesting to the changes that the President and CEO may wish to make from time to time.

The Philippine Budget Process is divided into four phases, namely: Budget Preparation, Budget Legislation or Authorization, Budget Execution and Implementation, and Budget Accountability and Review. Budget Preparation Budget preparation begins with the determination of budgetary priorities and activities based on the national development plan, taking into consideration the ceilings imposed due to available revenues and borrowing limits. The overall expenditure levels, revenue projections, deficit levels, and financing plans are determined by the Development Budget Coordination Committee (DBCC), an inter-agency committee composed of representatives from the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA), Department of Finance (DOF), and the Department of Budget and Management (DBM). Budget preparation is guided by the macroeconomic assumptions determined by NEDA. These assumptions include the projected Gross National Product (GNP), population growth rate, per capita income, price indices, inflation rates, Treasury bill rates, and foreign exchange rates. Once the levels and ceilings are determined, the DBM issues a Budget Call wherein all government agencies including government-owned and controlled corporations are called upon for a uniform approach to the preparation of their respective annual budgets. The DBM also holds budget consultations with these agencies to check if the agency budget is within the approved indicative expenditure ceilings and to allow them greater flexibility in prioritizing their funding requirements. The DBM undertakes a series of evaluations to determine areas from which a reduction can be made. The final consolidated budget then becomes the proposed national budget which the President shall submit to Congress within thirty (30) days from the opening of every regular session, as the basis of the general appropriations bill, a budget of expenditures and sources of financing, including receipts from existing and proposed revenue measures as provided for in Article VII, Section 22 of the Constitution of the Philippines. Budget Legislation or Authorization The proposed budget is presented to the House of Representatives, since all appropriation, revenue, or tariff bills shall originate exclusively from the House of Representatives, but the Senate may propose or concur with amendments as provided for in Article 6, Section 24 of the Constitution of the Philippines. Appropriations bill is prepared and filed by a House Member. On the First Reading, the bill is referred to the Committee on Appropriations, which has general jurisdiction on all matters relating to funds for the expenditures of the National Government and the payment of public indebtedness, and the classification of positions and determination of compensation of

government personnel. The Committee on Appropriations finding it necessary to conduct public hearings, schedules the public/budget hearings, issues notices and invites the Head of the Agency together with their Senior Officials to explain and justify budget submissions. Based on the results of the hearings conducted, the committee prepares the corresponding committee report and which is then referred to the Committee on Rules. On Second Reading, the Period of Debate (consisting of the Sponsorship Speech, Interpellation and the Turno en Contra), Period of Amendments (Committee Amendments, Individual Amendments) and the Approval on Second Reading (which may be by viva voce, raising of hands, division of the house or nominal or roll call) takes place. The amendments, if any, during the Period of Debate is Engrossed and is included in the Calendar of Bills for Third Reading. During this period, a roll call vote is called and a Member, if he desires, is given three (3) minutes to explain his vote. No amendment of the bill is allowed at this stage. The bill is approved by an affirmative vote of the Members present. The Approved Bill is then transmitted to the Senate for its concurrence. The Senate considers the bill in the same manner as in the House of Representatives, only that Finance Committee, the counterpart committee in the Senate conducts the public/budget hearings. After both houses approved their own versions of the General Appropriations Bill, a Conference Committee is constituted, composed of Members from both houses to settle, reconcile or thresh out differences or disagreements on any provision of the bill. The conferees are not limited to reconciling the differences in the bill but may introduce new provisions germane to the subject matter or may report out an entirely new bill on the subject. The Conference Committee Report is then submitted to both houses of Congress for consideration and approval. No amendment is allowed at this point. The General Appropriations Bill is then signed by the President of the Senate and Speaker of the House of Representatives. It is certified by both the Secretary of the Senate and the Secretary-General of the House of Representatives. It is then transmitted to the President of the Republic of the Philippines. If the General Appropriations Bill is approved by the President, the same is assigned a Republic Act Number and is transmitted to the House of Representatives where it originated. The approved bill, now a Republic Act, is sent to the official Gazette Office for publication and distributed to the implementing agencies.

Budget Execution and Implementation The third phase in the budget process covers the various operational aspects of budgeting. It is concerned not only with the release of funds in the form of Notice of Cash Allocation (NCA) for regular government agencies and/or GOCC’s receiving subsidy from the National Government, but also the continuing review of the government’s fiscal position (revenues realized, borrowings and prevailing economic conditions), regulation of fund releases and implementation of cash payment schedule. Under this phase, the continuing review of organizational developments is conducted and the function of ensuring that funds are available in support of activities, given the limitations of an appropriations and available cash. Budget Accountability and Review The proper allocation of funds would call not only for a review of priorities but also for a study of the performance and cost effectiveness of agencies concerned. Even with maximum funding, no significant results can be achieved if agency efficiency is low and funds are wastefully spent. This phase therefore is concerned with the agency performance review and management accounting and control. Performance review is done through the identification of work measurement units and other quantitative and qualitative indicators of agency performance. In the case of PNOC, performance review is done not only to determine the performance of the company and all its subsidiaries but also of all the employees concerned. Regular monitoring of departmental and individual performance is made on a monthly basis. The analysis of agency operating systems and procedures is an inherent part of the budget process. The budget division is therefore expected to implement systems and procedures designed to strictly monitor the implementation and use of funds. To do this, the Accounting Department prepares the Monthly Utilization Report detailing the departmental uses of their respective budget allocations. Each department is likewise furnished copies of their respective allocations. The Budget Division monitors budget utilization and prepares the same in its report to other government bodies such as Congress and DBM.

How to establish an effective budgeting process should always be taken as a key to a successful business venture. An existence of a sound and fully coordinated budgeting system could determine where the company is headed financially. At the end of each accounting period, budget helps determine areas of strengths and weaknesses in the financial management system of the company. Budget has always been used as a cure-all word for the financial problems of an enterprise. However, it should be clear that budget is simply a plan and specific management action plans are needed to make everything turn into reality. This Manual aims to give its readers, particularly the various PNOC cost centers, an overview of budgeting, its importance, approaches and manner of preparing one. It is expected that this will give light, much more a push to all, to consider the power of budgeting in the whole operational activities of an enterprise.
