Regular and casual employees of the provincial government are entitled to receive the bonus.
While awaiting the guidelines for the release of the SRI from the Department of Budget and Management, Lacson said the P30,000 CNA will be distributed before the year ends.
The 2023 PBB of Capitol employees was released last month, along with the 14th month pay, equivalent to one month’s salary.
Lacson emphasized that these benefits are part of fostering a thriving environment for both public servants and the communities they serve.
He also expressed hope that the province would be spared from catastrophes that often threaten its communities.
“Beyond safety, I hope everyone finds success in their work and good health for their families,” Lacson said. | GB
