Diaz said Argusar’s appointment only needs the concurrence of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan after it was approved by the Provincial Selection Board.
“Aside from these two major positions, there are also other Capitol employees who got the promotions, especially at the Provincial Budget Office and Accounting Office. So all worthy employees are given promotions in the province,” Diaz said.
He added, “we are trying to strengthen all departments by filling up all open positions. Last week, some permanent positions at the Capitol-run hospitals were also approved.”
Meanwhile, Diaz assured that the Performance Based Allowance will be released to the Capitol employees within this month.
“We are only waiting for the guidelines,” he said.
PBB represented 60 percent of the employees’ basic monthly salary.
However, only permanent and casual employees are entitled to the said additional bonus.*
