Mayor Alfredo Abelardo Benitez said on Monday, Nov. 20, that the bonuses of the Bacolod City government employee’s will be higher than last year.
“It will be more this year because my understanding is DBM (Department of Budget and Management) has approved the increase of bonuses of city employees,” he said.
The Collective Negotiation Agreement (CNA) bonus has been increased from P25,000 to P30,000, he also said.
“Since Bacolod is fiscally sound, we will be able to adequately provide for the mandated bonuses,” he said.
Gov. Eugenio Jose Lacson said the bonuses of the Negros Occidental provincial government employees is most likely to be the same as last year. But Lacson said he thinks they can add P5,000 to the P25,000 CNA bonus.*
