Pampanga capitol employees to receive P40-T Christmas bonus

Decmber 07, 2010

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga, Dec. 7 (PNA) — Governor Lilia G. Pineda announced on Monday the granting of P40,000 Christmas bonus for each of the 2,051 permanent and casual employees of the provincial government.

Pineda made the announcement in time for the kicked off celebration of the Pampanga Day which will run until Dec. 11.

”I have something to tell. We have savings, the capitol employees shall receive P40,000 each for their merry and bountiful Christmas),” the governor said which was met with loud and long applause by the employees attending Monday’s flag ceremony.

While other employees jumped and shouted for joy, others could not contain their emotions and cried with the unexpected announcement of the bounty that they would receive.

Milet Tecson of the Vice Governor’s Office exclaimed, “This Christmas would be a merrier one. I would like to thank the governor, vice governor, and the provincial board.”

Another employee, an old timer, said that this is the first time in the history of the capitol that employees shall be given this big amount for a Christmas bonus.

The prevailing sentiment is that “we shall be able to pay for advances and loans gotten previously and still have enough to celebrate an abundant Christmas with the family.”

The governor, elated and touched by the employees’ reactions, assured them that the bonus will definitely be received before the Christmas break begins, if not earlier.

The announcement came after the Sangguniang Panlalawigan approved the granting of the same for the regular and casual employees.

The bonus, called Productivity Enhancement Incentive (PEI), is in connection with the Administrative Order No. 3 signed by President Benigno S. Aquino III, with Section 4 allowing the granting of PEI “determined by the Sangguniang Panlalawigan depending on the LGU’s financial capability.”

According to the Provincial Budget Office, the funds will come from savings from the general fund.

Eligible to receive the full P40,000 are those employees who have been in office for four months as of Nov. 30, 2010.

Others would be receiving it on a pro-rated basis as follows: three months but less than four months in office shall receive 40 percent of the full amount; two months but less than three months, 30 percent; one month but less than two months, 20 percent; and less than one month, 10 percent. (PNA)
