Mayor Evelio "Bing" Leonardia
Meets with Day Care Workers

      In response to the appeal of the unpaid daycare workers from all over the City, Mayor Bing Leonardia conducted a dialog with the group at the Liga ng mga Barangay Hall on September 8, 2004.
     Despite his hectic schedule and pressing executive functions, Mayor Evelio R. Leonardia was eager to hear the side of the day care workers and have the opportunity to give clarity to the present problem confronting them.
     Along with the City Legal Officer Atty. Allan Zamora, Councilor Ana Marie Palermo and Executive Assistants Nestor Sembrano and Lorenza Uy, the Chief Executive received a warm welcome upon his arrival at the venue from the 72 daycare workers who were very eager to hear his side of the matter.
     Mayor Leonardia reacted positively to the workers' request that their salaries for the months of July, August and September be released. The Mayor added however that there is a need to follow certain regulations given by the Commission on Audit and the Civil Service Commission. City Legal Officer Atty. Allan Zamora shed light on the legal procedures that the city needs to follow to release their salaries.
     The audience was very receptive to the idea of having the salaries for the month of June settled first inasmuch as Mayor Evelio Leonardia took office only in July. The dialog resulted positively for the daycare workers, who promised to rally behind the Mayor and give their utmost support.
     Leonardia also cautioned the group not to be swayed by some quarters in their respective Barangays who might suggest actions not helpful toward the resolution of the matter.*(CMO-PIO/osb)
