City gov't prepares P22M for extra cash gift of workers, barangay officials
The Iloilo City government has allotted P22.5 million for the extra cash gift also known as the GMA bonus of regular employees and officials of the city's 180 barangays.
City Budget Officer Ninda Atinado said a total of P6.030 million was allotted for barangay officials with the barangay captains set to receive P3,500 and the council members, P3,000.
On the other hand, the city has allotted more or less P16.6 million for the regular employees who are entitled to receive P10,000 each.
Atinado said the proposed extra cash gift would be part of the P165 million supplemental budget No. 5 that will be submitted to the Iloilo City Council for approval.
The budget officer, however, stressed that they still have to receive a copy of the circular from the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) as to how the extra bonus will be released.
