The Bacolod Sangguniang Panlungsod ratified the contract of service of 79 new and renewal part-time instructors of the Bacolod City College covering June 14, 2011 to October 21, 2011, during its session Wednesday.
The ratification of the contracts was sponsored by Councilor Caesar Distrito as chairman of the SP Committee on Laws, Ordinances and Good Government. after City Administrator Rogelio Balo and BCC Administrator Johanna Bayoneta, appeared before the SP to answer questions regarding the hiring process of BCC faculty members. Distrito said the SP approved the contract of service of the 79 teachers despite some questions on their appointments because their salaries have to be released immediately since classes started last June yet, and they have not been paid until now. Meanwhile, the SP deferred the approval of the contract of service of four new full-time BCC teachers pending submission of some requirements. Distrito said the SP deferred it because they have been required to submit their credentials to avoid what happened to three other teachers from BCC and also for the members of Council to be apprised on the issue. The appointments or contract of service of the three BCC teachers were not submitted for ratification since they lacked some requirements and they have a pending complaint before the SP on the matter, he said. On the other hand, a resolution requesting City Budget Officer Luzvimvinda Treyes, through the Office of the City Mayor, to clarify the status of the budget on “Medicare para sa Masa,” was approved by the SP Wednesday. Authored by Councilor El Cid Familiaran, the resolution said the issue that the city has not paid its premium for Philhealth contribution for thousands of beneficiaries came to the fore as the SP was confronted with issues on budgetary allocation for Philhealth and/ or health-related concern. The report stated that the unpaid account of the city to Philhealth amounting to P5,174,050.00, that represents its share for the supposed premium contribution of 16,965 Philhealth beneficiaries for the year 2010, it said. The resolution said that in the 2011 budget, there is an allocation of P4 million under the item “Medicare para sa Masa,” aside from the allocated budget for Philhealth during the Aug. 10, 2011 regular session, based on the request of the mayor. There is a need for the City Budget Officer to clarify this budget item in order not to create confusion to the public.*CGS CHRYSEE SAMILLANO Visayan Daily Star
