Some 3,450 Contract of Service employees received their P3,000 year-end gratuity from the city government on Dec. 6, 2023.
Mayor Carmelo “Pogi” Lazatin, Jr. said this is in recognition of the unwavering service of the employees in serving the Angeleños.
Mayor Lazatin called the city hall government employees as the true assets of the city, in delivering services to the Angeleños.
“Ang mga kawani po ng gobyerno lalo na po ang mga COS ang kaantabay natin sa pagbababa ng mga serbisyo sa mga bara-barangay,” Lazatin said.
The COS employees will also be receiving Christmas ham, and rice packages today, December 7.
Mayor Lazatin took the initiative for the year-end gratuity of the COS employees back in 2020, and it has been done annually since then.
Flordeliza Santos, President of the Association of Government Employees for a New Dynamic Angeles City (AGENDA), thanked the administration of Mayor Lazatin for prioritizing the employees, and that of their families.
“Maraming salamat po. Maraming pamilya na naman po ang matutuwa sa uwing year-end gratuity ng ating mga COS employees,” Santos said.
Nash Kian Manalo, rescuer of Angeles City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office said, “Malaking pasasalamat po kay Mayor Pogi at sa tulong po ninyo sa aming mga COS, nagkaroon po kami ng ganitong appreciation bonus.”
“Mas magiging masigasig po kaming mga empleyado at magiging mas masipag pa po sa aming mga trabaho,” Manalo added.
This was also agreed by Erin Mendiola, Admin Aide of City Nutrition Office for 10 years.
“Pasalamat ku kasi ing kekatamung malugud a Mayor aisip nala reng COS at dinan na kaming kaswelo at maranun a pamasko, dakal a dakal a salamat Mayor Pogi Lazatin,” Mendiola said.
