SunStar File March 12, 2021 THE Cebu City Council resolved to seek guidance from the executive branch on the proposed Charter Day cash incentives to City Hall employees after some councilors raised objections in light of the economic woes caused by the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic.
During the online regular session on March 10, Cebu City Councilor Raymond Alvin Garcia withdrew his motion for the approval of the recommendation of the Program on Awards and Incentives for Service Excellence (Praise) to grant a P10,000 cash incentive to each City Hall employee.
The Praise’s recommendation had drawn adverse reactions from councilors.
Opposition Cebu City Councilor Nestor Archival said it would be “awkward” to grant incentives to City Hall employees while the private sector, who pay the taxes that fund the salaries of government employees, are struggling to keep their businesses afloat and retain their jobs.
