MANILA GOV’T EMPLOYEES TO RECEIVE SALARY, 13TH MONTH PAY, BONUS ON NOV. 13

GOVERNMENT employees in the City of Manila are set to receive their salaries, year-end bonuses and P5,000 cash gifts on Friday, Nov. 13, Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso announced Monday.

The Manila mayor made the announcement during the regular flag-raising ceremony on Monday, November 9, at Kartilya ng Katipunan.

Domagoso said the financial benefits would be distributed as scheduled, providing additional support to regular city government employees.

The advance release comes ahead of the four-day holiday from Nov. 16 to 18 declared by Malacañang.

The mayor also assured Contract of Service (COS) and Job Order (JO) workers would not be left behind as the city government was still working on the necessary processes to provide them with a bonus.

He added that the local government would explore ways to extend similar assistance, as it had done during the pandemic.

The Manila mayor also announced plans to distribute Christmas boxes to Manila families as well as packages for senior citizens to help ensure that households have food and essential items for the holiday season.

The initiatives form part of the city government’s efforts to provide financial assistance and share Christmas blessings with employees and residents of Manila.
