Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri said Tuesday that Senate employees will be receiving “generous bonuses” in time for Christmas.
Zubiri made the announcement during last night’s Christmas decor lighting ceremonies, saying that it is the result of Senate employees’ hard work and dedication.
“‘Yung mga good news hindi ko muna ibabalita dito sa inyo, isikreto na lang natin. Kasi sasabihin na naman ng taumbayan, sana all,” Zubiri said.
“Pero gagawin natin para sa inyong lahat, at you will be getting a very generous, this year, a generous gift from your Senate, members of the Senate, and the Senate leadership. And, I hope you will all be happy,” he added.
Meanwhile, Zubiri also asked the employees to “pay it forward” by sharing it with others.
“Pay it forward. Lalo na sa mga mahihirap n’yong mga kababayan, sa inyong mga barangay, sa inyong mga villages. Share it as well with them. Because we owe it to our people, that’s why we are here in the first place, it’s them who gives us our salary,” the Senate President said.
