Question Communication of earned leave credits

I am currently working as deped non teaching staff and recently filed my resignation which indicates I wish to exhaust all my earned SL AND VL leaves. I have an accumulated 89 days. I filed my terminal leave starting August 9,2021 and and December 15 as my last day of service or 89 working days after. Unfortunately, my request to exhaust all my leave credits rather than to monetize them was denied because the personnel said terminal leaves are for teachers only. Is there a new ruling for terminal leave? I have cleared all money and property accountabilities and all attachments for my resignation was all complete.

Please be informed that as a policy, the Commission does not render opinions/rulings on issues that may eventually be the subject of a complaint or appeal before it. This is especially so if the material facts necessary to a judicious adjudication of the issues are not fully presented or substantiated as in this case.
Nevertheless, for your information and guidance, Section 37, CSC Memorandum Circular No. 14, s. 1999 (Omnibus Rules on Leave) provides, as follows: “Section 37. Payment of terminal leave. – Any official/employee of the government who retires, voluntary resigns, or separated from the service and who is not otherwise covered by special law, shall be entitled to the commutation of his leave credits exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays without limitation and regardless of the period when the credits were earned.
You may file an Appeal with our Regional Office after complying with the following requirements found in Section 68, Rule 13, 2017 Rules on Administrative Cases in the Civil Service (2017 RACCS), as follows:
