Capitol to Pay Back Wages of Medical Staff

Cebu Gov. Hilario Davide III has assured that all medical personnel hired by the province to work for its various district hospitals will soon get their back wages.

“We are still in the process…naa pay transition from outsourced to job order. Daghan pang papeles (to be prepared).I can assure them nga once mahikay na ang papeles, na mabayran na sa ilang back wages,” said Davide.

Davide admitted that medical doctors, dentists, nurses and other medical technologists who were hired by manpower agencies to work for province-run hospitals are without wages for the last four months.

But Davide said that once all the papers are signed, the Capitol will immediately release their back wages through checks.

Meanwhile, Davide said he has already signed the contracts of medical workers for their direct employment, especially that most of them were outsourced from manpower agencies.
