The Bacolod Sangguniang Panlungsod approved Wednesday a resolution requesting private hospitals to stop the practice of collecting affiliation volunteer or training fees or its equivalent from registered nurses in Bacolod City.
The resolution, proposed by Councilors Caesar Distrito and Em Ang, said private hospitals in the city are collecting such fees from all registered nurses, who render duty for free as their on-the-job training and their volunteer nurse program as they are already qualified to receive salaries. The resolution said because they have a hard time looking for jobs, some registered nurses end up as call center agents because they have to undergo the volunteer nurse program where they are required to pay for the training by the hospitals. A resolution requesting Bacolod Schools Division Superintendent Gemma Ledesma, through the Office of the City Mayor, to look into the status and concerns of job order teachers, is being proposed by Councilor El Cid Familiaran. It said that information gathered show that the city has hired about 380 job order teachers, denominated as Local School Board – Job Order, assigned in public elementary and high school in Bacolod City. It said, also according to reports, that job order teachers have not received their salaries of P6,800 per month since October.*CGS BY CHRYSEE SAMILLANO Visayan Daily Star
