TACLOBAN CITY — Capitol employees of Leyte province are set to receive PHP20,000 bonus.
Out of the amount, PHP15,000 is for the Collection Negotiation Agreement (CNA) incentive while the additional PHP5,000 is for the Performance Enhancement Incentive (PEI).
Leyte Governor Leopoldo Dominico Petilla said during Thursday night’s Christmas party at the capitol that employees deserve more than their bonus for working hard in helping the provincial government perform well this year.
“I am proud to say I am your leader here in the province, because I have you as employees who work well and do their best so we can provide the services our people need,” Petilla said.
He said that although the province did not earn the Seal of Good Local Governance this year, due to intensified qualifications, it was still recognized for its Good Financial Housekeeping by the Department of the Interior and Local Government.
This should instead become a source of inspiration to do better next year and earn that seal, the governor said.
He likewise lauded the employees in their effort in making sure the success of several projects initiated under his administration.
Capitol employees welcomed the release of the signing bonus. Last year, the provincial government provided extra cash gift of PHP15,000 while in 2015 employees were given PHP20,000.
Job order employees will also receive PHP8,000 this year.
Capitol employees just received their salary adjustment this year pursuant to the approved Salary Standardization Law. (Ahlette Reyes/PNA)
