Tagalog News: Ituwid ang maling proseso ng pagta-trabaho, mungkahi ni Mayor
ni Diamond Year Cupay
BUTUAN CITY, Mayo 9 (PIA) – “Dapat nating ituwid ang maling proseso ng pagta-trabaho at palakasin din natin ang daan ng tagumpay.”
Ito ang nagging pahayag ni Mayor Ferdinand Amante Jr sa mga kawani ng local na pamahalaan sa isang flag raising ceremony.
Dapat aniya magpasalamat ang mga Butuanon sa dumadaming trabaho na maaring pasukan ng mga manggagawa. Ito ay dahil sa pagbukas ng mga investors na nagbuhos ng kanilang mga puhunan dito sa lungsod, sabi ni Amante.
Hinamon din ng nasabing opisyal ang lahat ng hepe ng opisina ng city hall na maging mapagmatyag sa kanilang kapwa katrabaho nang hindi makagawa ng mga tiwali, hindi tuwid at hindi dapat na mga gawain na makakasira sa dangal at integridad ng lahat.
Ipinagmamalaki rin ni Mayor Jun Amante ang malaking pondo ng siyudad na nakadeposito naman sa isa sa mga bangko nitong lungsod. “Dahil dito, magagawa natin ang mga nararapat na idagdag na mga programang tiyak na makakatulong sa mga Butuanons,” pagtatapos ng opisyal. (PIA-Caraga)
