Manila Mayor asks council to release mid-year bonus early

Manila Mayor Isko Moreno requested the Manila City Council to authorize the early release of the mid-year bonus for regular city hall employees.

This initiative aims to alleviate the financial burden faced by city workers during the enhanced community quarantine due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Mayor also announced that job order and contractual employees will receive financial assistance.

He signed Ordinance No. 8620, which appropriates a supplemental budget of P60 million for this financial aid.

Around 20,000 workers will each receive P3,000 as financial assistance.

Mayor Moreno also urged private companies in Manila to follow the city government's lead and provide financial assistance to their employees.
