BAGUIO WORKERS GET ADDED BONUS

BAGUIO CITY, Philippines — Despite the huge expenditure of the city government in the hauling of garbage to an engineered sanitary landfill in Capas, Tarlac, the nearly 1,600 employees of the local government stand to receive a bountiful Christmas bonus.

Mayor Mauricio G. Domogan signed Administrative Order (A) No. 182, series of 2010 granting additional incentives to all regular, casual and temporary employees of the city government which is equivalent to 1.4 months of their basic pay plus an additional P20,000 across the board.

The funds for the grant of cash incentives will be taken from the savings of the various city departments for the current year.

Considering that the city government employees already received their one month bonus last month, the local government will only release this week the remaining .5 month plus the 20,000 across the board incentives. (Dexter A. See)
