“The increase in the CNA bonus is a direct result of their perseverance in delivering quality public services,” said Mayor Lazatin. He further noted that the city is simply giving the employees what they rightfully deserve for their outstanding work. He also expressed pride in the city’s back-to-back recognition for excellence in governance.
Santos highlighted that the bonus and other benefits are not only a reward but also a symbol of the employees’ success and contributions to the city’s achievements. She added that the incentives have a profound impact on the workers’ morale, motivating them to continue providing excellent service to the residents of Angeles City.
The city’s employees also expressed their appreciation for Mayor Lazatin’s leadership. Santos pointed out that the mayor’s actions inspire them to work even harder, noting that his example of dedication to public service encourages them to strive for excellence in their own roles.
