CEBU CITY – Village officials who will retire from service starting 2025 will get a retirement gratuity pay of P3,000 to P5,000 per year of service.
Mayor Alvin Garcia said Friday that the retirement package is the city's way of recognizing the work and contribution of village officials.
He authored the ordinance passed by the Cebu City Council that seeks to give gratuity pay to all officials who serve in any of the 80 villages here.
The ordinance provides that every councilor who will retire can get P3,000 per year of service while it will be P5,000 per year of service for the barangay captain.
Garcia also announced that next year, he will increase the financial assistance for the youth council Sangguniang Kabataan (SK).
In July, the city gave P1 million to each of the 80 SK as financial assistance.
He said he would make it P2 million from the current P1.5 million, stressing there are enough funds for the purpose.
Apart from this, the honorarium-based employees of the barangay will be among the recipients of the Christmas bonus in December.
Garcia pushed for Supplemental Budget No. 3 at the city council where the Christmas bonus for the honorarium-based employees of the barangay is earmarked. (PNA)
