	GR No. 180866 2010-03-02	LEPANTO CERAMICS v. LEPANTO CERAMICS EMPLOYEES ASSOCIATION PEREZ, J.
Generally, a bonus is not a demandable and enforceable obligation. For a bonus to be enforceable, it must have been promised by the employer and expressly agreed upon by the parties.[21] Given that the bonus in this case is integrated in the CBA, the same partakes the nature of a demandable obligation. Verily, by virtue of its incorporation in the CBA, the Christmas bonus due to respondent Association has become more than just an act of generosity on the part of the petitioner but a contractual obligation it has undertaken.[22]
