CALOOCAN City Mayor Oscar “Oca” Malapitan regularized around 132 contractual and job order workers who had been working in the local government for more than a decade.
“Binigyan prayoridad natin ang mga empleyado ng City Hall na nasa mahigit 30 at 20 taon nang nagsisilbi para sa mga mamamayan ng Caloocan subalit hindi pa rin nareregular. Karamihan sa kanila ay street sweepers, engineering at admin aide at mayroon din day care workers,” Mayor Oca said.
The city chief executive said that aside from regularizing job order and contractual workers, he also promoted more than 100 qualified regular employees who has not been promoted for several years as part of his continued program to the city government.
City Human Resource and Management Office head Lorilei Del Carmen said that despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, Mayor Oca continued to pay attention to the regularization program of the city government.
Isabel Clima, one of the job order workers of Day Care Centers, expressed her deep appreciation to Mayor Oca for turning his status to regular employee after working for more than 31 years.
“Ilang alkalde na po ang naupo subalit ngayon lamang kami napansin at ginawang regular, sa ilalim ng ating mahal na Mayor Oca,” Clima said.
The mayor said his program of regularization was in gratitude for the service and concern of workers for the city of Caloocan. “Dapat ay walang pulitika sa pagseserbisyo. Sa ilang taong pagsisilbi sa mga taga-Caloocan, deserved nila na maging regular na kawani ng Pamahalaang Lungsod.” Mayor Oca said.
