CEBU CITY — A Mandaue City official has raised concern about the city's plan to allocate P16 million for next year's city hall Christmas activities, which include a holiday party and the distribution of hams to city hall employees.Vice Mayor Nerissa Soon-Ruiz, who assumed her current post after Glenn Bercede was elevated to full-fledged mayor following the dismissal of Mayor Jonas Cortes, questioned the substantial increase in the Christmas budget during a council session last Monday.
This prompted the vice mayor to question the distribution of the funds, especially given the estimated costs. She noted that if the hams were priced at P500 each and P10 million of the budget was dedicated to this, it would imply there are about 20,000 employees.She said the last known employee count was around 2,000 to 3,000.The vice mayor also expressed concerns about potential misuse of funds, particularly during election periods when there might be an increase in job order hiring.
