Zamboanga City Lawmakers Get Extra Cash

Zamboanga City Councilmen of this city's 98 'barangays' will be receiving extra cash gifts, the amount of which is based on the savings of their respective villages.

Vice-Mayor Jose Manuel Dalipe Jr. said the City Council has authorized, through a resolution, the requests of several 'barangays' for authority to disburse funds as extra cash gift from their savings.

The resolution was unanimously approved by the City Council last Friday, its last session for the year.

Dalipe said officials of the villages of Pasonanca, Pasobolong, and Talon-Talon were among those who requested for the authority to release extra cash gifts for Barangay Council members.

He said villages that are already considered as independent local government units (LGUs) are entitled to allocate funds for the cash gifts and bonuses, depending on the availability of funds and savings. - Philippine News Agency
