Published Dec 15, 2022 12:03 pm

A total of 26 loyal employees and 102 retirees of the Makati City Hall were hailed by the city government on Wednesday, Dec. 14, and given recognition for their utmost service to the Makati City community.

According to Makati City Mayor Abby Binay, they honored 26 loyal civil servants who have served the city government for over three decades. The Loyalty Service Award is given to city employees who have rendered ten continuous years in public service.

“We are proud of the long service of these employees, and this award is our way of demonstrating our appreciation for their hard work and dedication. We hope that this will encourage others to perform their duties with the same level of commitment,” Binay said.

The Makati City Human Resource Development Office (HRDO) has identified nine 40-year awardees from various offices. They were Arlyn Ebag Dulay, Public Safety Department (PSD); Aurelia Bonifacio Albarracin, Business Permits Office; Corazon Musni Yabut, Makati Health Department (MHD); Elizabeth Escober Salusa, MHD; Fernando Elviña Bello, Department of Engineering and Public Works (DEPW); Gertrudes Baleares Cariasa, Education Department; Mercedita Catalan Isidro, General Services Department (GSD); Myrna Casta Del Rosario, MHD; and Nelson Molina Diego, Budget Department.

Seventeen employees were recognized for over 30 years of service -- Aida Plata Rustia, Law Department; Clarita Ebang Balicnang, PSD; Digna Laruscain Condes, Ospital ng Makati; Eliza Certeza Aderes, Economic Enterprise Management Office; Elsa Alforja Tan, Urban Development Department; Felimelda Plana Ostonal, Makati Social Welfare Department; Flordeliza Noprada Silva, Accounting Department; Juliet Gaa Del Mundo, Finance Department; Lito Cagurungan Tumaliuan, DEPW; Lydia Macale Ariones, Makati Action Center; Marissa Dela Peña Maniego, Assessment Department; Rossana Nonato Baldon, HRDO; Shamin Dela Cruz Diaz, Office of the Vice Mayor; Sonia Ibay Suarez, GSD; Teodoro Soledad Manalo Jr., Department of Environmental Services; Windelina Reyes Omar, Youth and Sports Development Department; and Zenaida Gerodias Cayabyab, MHD.

Since 2016, Binay said the Loyalty Service Award is just one of the many initiatives launched by her administration to recognize and celebrate excellence in public service.

It is also a testament to her commitment to providing quality service and promoting a culture of excellence in the local government, she added.

Aside from a certificate of recognition and a commemorative pin, 40-year awardees each received P35,000 in cash, while 30-year awardees were given P25,000 each.

The employees will continue to receive P5,000 every five years thereafter while in the service.

Meanwhile, Mayor Abby also paid tribute to 102 retirees and commended them for their dedication and commitment to serving the city over the past years. She added that she regards them as an integral part of the city’s history.

"We are forever grateful for your hard work and sacrifice over the years," the mayor said.
