CEBU, Philippines — Barangay health workers in Bogo City are set to get P800 honorarium after the City Council passed an ordinance granting their barangay health frontliners a monthly stipend.
The ordinance authored by Vice Mayor Maria Cielo Martinez is now waiting for the approval of the mayor before it will take effect after 15 days upon signing.
Under the said ordinance barangay health workers will receive a monthly honorarium of "not more than P800".
On its official Facebook page, the City Government of Bogo announced that the honorarium is the city’s way of thanking the barangay health workers for their services.
"Gamay lang kini nga agi’g pasalamat sa Dakbayan sa Bogo sa mga kakugi ug pagpaninguha sa atoang mga BHWs kansa atoa gyud nga nakita ang tiunay nga pagpanerbisyo labi na gyud sa panahon sa pandemya," the post read.
On the same facebook page, it also announced the city council’s approval of a resolution giving honorarium to purok presidents in the city. It did not, however, mention how much will be given to them.
"Dako nga abag sa dakbayan ang atoang mga purok presidents aron nga padayon sab nga ma-improve ug maplantsa pa gayud ang atoang Purok System nga gamit kaayo labi na gayud sa emergency situations ug data gathering aron madali ang pagpaabot sa mga serbisyo ug programa ngadto sa mga Bogohanons," read the Facebook post of Bogo City Government. /FPL (FREEMAN)
