Can a member of the BAC be granted an honorarium if he/she is absent during the pre-bid and opening of bids but was able to attend the pre-procurement conference and sign the resolution of award?
Thank you.

Yes. However, the amount of honorarium will depend on the internal rules (if the length or number of participation to the proceedings is irrelevant).
The BAC may adopt an internal rule that the honoraria due will be pro-rata based on the stages participated.
Ex.
There were 10 stages of the procurement that was participated by BAC members. The BAC member in the question only participated in 7 stages. Then the proportionate share in the honoraria is 7/10 or 70%. If the rate of honoraria per completed procurement is P3,000, hence. That BAC member will be entitled only to P3,100 for that procurement.
