Christmas party program flow and budget — games, raffle and the ambag per person
Short answer. Put in how many are coming, the food per head, the venue, prizes for games, raffle, decorations and any company fund: you see the party total and the ambag per person. 13th month pay: employers pay it to rank-and-file employees not later than December 24 each year (PD 851; DOLE Handbook).
- Announce the ambag and form committees — about 4 weeks beforetype the date
- Ambag deadline — the week beforetype the date
- Final program and raffle list — 3 days beforetype the date
Check your own case.
13th month pay is due not later than December 24 (PD 851) — many groups set the ambag deadline after it.

Your Christmas party in pesos — the total and the ambag per person
Put in how many are coming, the food per head, the venue and sound, prizes for games, raffle prizes, decorations and any company fund or sponsor. You see the total and the contribution per person, rounded up. The Word file is a ready program flow with games. No sign-up.
- Announce the ambag early — many pay after the 13th month pay, which employers must give on or before December 24.
- Tick each payment in the Excel «Ambag» sheet so the treasurer can report at the party.
- Print the program flow and give each segment a person in charge.
Arithmetic only: the total minus the fund, divided by the people coming and rounded up to the next peso. Prices are your own examples. Not financial advice.
