Capitol gives cash incentives to barangay workers
CEBU, Philippines - The Cebu Provincial Government yesterday distributed more than P2-million cash assistance to barangay tanods, health workers, day care workers, and barangay nutrition scholars in Pinamungajan and Toledo City.
Provincial Information Officer Ethel Natera said a total of P1,563,300 cash incentives were given to the barangay workers in Pinamungajan while a total of P782,700 were given to barangay workers in Toledo City.
In Pinamungajan, at least 407 tanods each received P1,500 cash incentive; 329 barangay health workers each received P2,400; and the same amount also to each of the 42 day care workers and 26 BNS.
In Toledo City, 301 tanods, 36 BHWs, 56 day care workers, and 46 BNS respectively received their share of the incentives.
Natera said since the administration of Governor Hilario Davide III, the Capitol has been giving cash incentives every year to the barangay frontliners.
She clarified that the distribution of the incentives was not tainted by any political color as it is only one of the Capitol’s ways of thanking the barangay workers for doing their job.
Natera said barangay workers only receive small honorarium.
The amount of the honorarium depends on the capacity and on the allocation of the local government unit, she said. — (FREEMAN)
