FIRST TIME IN BAGO
10 BHWs get gratuity incentives from city government
For the first time, 10 barangay health workers (BHWs) in Bago City received gratuity from the local government under the administration of Mayora Mayette Javellana, with amount ranging from P13,000 to P42,000 each depending on their length of service.
Mayora Mayette, along with Councilors Leonilo del Carmen and Robert Javellana, led the distribution of gratuity incentives in a simple rites at her office this afternoon, August 11.
The 10 recipients whose work as BHWs ended last June 30 included Soledad Carmona - 42 years in service; Gloria Jabagat - 41 years; Dorita Pancho - 36 years; Elena Bedonia - 36 years; Vilma Gamboa - 29 years; Gloria Gamboa - 29 years; Elma Latido - 25 years; Lucia Rojas - 15 years; Cynthia Alicante - 14 years; and Virgenia Jarobel - 13 years.
Mayora Mayette couldn’t shed tears as she expressed appreciation to the BHWs for their hard work, service and love for the people in the community.
“Dugay ko na ni nga handum to give gratuity sa inyo and that’s my only way to honor my mother’s memory, to take care of you, kay kabalo ko palangga gid kamo ni nanay,” she said.
The mayor recalled that her administration really worked hard for this initiative to be realized.
Mayora Mayette thanked Councilor del Carmen, chair of the Sangguniang Panlungsod Committee on Health, for pushing for the passage of an ordinance granting gratuity to retiring BHWs in the city.
“Please know that through this, I hope you will feel our love for each of you and we deeply appreciate what you do for Bago,” the mayor told the BHWs.
She added “I like what Doc Nilo said, we cannot measure the content of your hearts, the love you put on what you’ve been doing for the last many years.”
“We are emotional because it’s like seeing a dream come true in our midst, under our watch, and to see this dream come to life is really a big thing,” the mayor also said.
Under City Ordinance No. 26 - 07, or an Ordinance Granting Gratuity to all Qualified Accredited Barangay Health Workers in Bago City, the recipient-BHWs received an incentive of P1000 per year depending on the length of service.
Councilor del Carmen, who was also emotional during the activity, highlighted the huge contribution of the BHWs who are really in the frontline in terms of bringing health services to the community.
“Pamalaybalay, painit kag paulan para kahatag serbisyo sa aton pumuluyo,” he said underscoring to the dedication and hard work demonstrated by the BHWs.
The doctor councilor also offered free operation and other medical services to the recipient-BHWs whenever they need it as his personal way of honoring and thanking them for their long years of service to the Bagonhons.
Aside from the gratuity incentives, the BHWs also received a note of appreciation from the city government.
“While no amount can equal the years you have given, this gesture carries a simple message: We remember. We appreciate. We are grateful,” it stated.
For Carmona, 42 years of serving her community as BHW — helping fellow Bagonhons — has given her an experience she will forever treasure and cherish.
“We are very grateful to the city government, ilabi na gid kay Mayora Mayette and Councilor del Carmen, for this gratuity. We are forever thankful, indi gid ini namon malipatan,” she said.
Also present during the activity were Primary Care Facility’s Medical Officer IV Arianne Angeli Panisa and Nurse Supervisor Ceander Rosquillo, BHW Federation President Emily Pagunsan, and Chief of Staff Greg Villegas.
