Cebu City: Vax needed for P20K Christmas bonus

Cebu City acting mayor Mike Rama announced that city hall employees will receive a P20,000 Christmas bonus only if they are fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

The vaccination drive for city hall workers began on Thursday and continued over the weekend.

Labor group AMA Sugbo-KMU urged Rama to reconsider his directive, citing high costs of living as reasons why employees need their bonuses.

Presidential Spox Harry Roque said that requiring vaccination for Christmas bonuses is legal since granting such bonuses is discretionary.
