CITY Administrator Zuleika T. Lopez yesterday issued a memorandum directing all city government employees to participate in the yearly Pasko Fiesta sa Dabaw which kicked off on Dec. 5 at the People’s Park.
“Since this is a government activity and a recognized event for the city, I encourage all our plantilla, job order and contract of services personnel to witness and participate in all Pasko Fiesta activities as they are scheduled after 5 p.m., or already beyond office hours”, Lopez said.
It can be noted that in Tuesday’s session of the city council, the appropriation for the Christmas bonus of all city-paid personnel was already approved and Lopez said Mayor Sara Duterte has specific instructions for its release.
“The mayor has already instructed the members of the local finance committee to start giving the bonuses, prioritizing the job orders and contract of services, as they have to get it from the windows of the City Treasurer’s Office”, Lopez said, adding that all of these bonuses due for Christmas will be released by Dec. 15.
“We have to thank the city government employees for being supportive to the programs of Mayor Inday. They have to continue doing their job, the way they have been doing it. We wish them much love and good health for their families and make Christmas more enjoyable and meaningful”, Lopez said. (CIO/ROLDAN G. GORGONIO)
