Cebu Public School Teachers To Receive P10k Christmas Bonus

Cebu City to Give P10k/Each Christmas Bonus for Public School Teachers

About 6,000 Cebu public school teachers will receive up to P10,000 each as Christmas Bonus from the city government.

Cebu City government allocated a total amount of P5 million for the public school teachers as part of the 2019 yearly budget. The budget also covers the Christmas parties, foods, and prizes for teachers.

Mayor Edgardo Labella explained that the educators also deserved to receive a bonus just like City Hall employees and other government workers. Labella also stressed out that teachers are the most overworked and underpaid employees.

“Para sa ako man gyud, our public school teachers are the most overworked and underpaid, and that is an understatement. “Luoy man sab na sila, mao dapat hatagan nato og kalipay sa pasko… P10,000 atong ihatag (I pity them so we will give them something to make them happy for Christmas… we will give P10,000),” Labella said.

The city government would give the bonus either on the second week or third week of December, which just in time before celebrating the Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve.
