BAYOMBONG, Nueva Vizcaya , Philippines — Municipal government employees in this town received yesterday their Christmas bonus amounting to P84,000 each, according to their mayor.
The amount is the biggest compared to those given to other municipal government employees in the province.
Mayor Ralph Lantion said contractual and job order workers of the municipal government also received at least P12,000 in Yuletide incentives.
Lantion said local government employees who served for more than 20 years received an additional P10,000 aside from their 13th month pay and cash gifts.
Lantion said more than 200 barangay and Sanguniang Kabataan officials also received P5,000 each.
“Wala ng utang ang ating LGU (local government unit) at maraming nagbigay ng donasyon para mapasaya ang ating mga kababayan ngayong Pasko,” Lantion said.
Lantion, a former commissioner of the Comission on Elections and Manila regional trial court judge, does not get his salary and instead uses it for his education programs.
