Governance Commission for GOCCs (GCG) Chairperson Atty. Marius Corpus and Commissioner Atty. Geraldine Marie Martinez along with other GCG employees recently visited Senator Raffy Tulfo’s office to deliver good news.
Corpus and Martinez showed Tulfo an official document baring that GCG have already accomplished its promise to fix the Compensation and Position Classification System (CPCS) of the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), including that of the employees of Casino Filipino – New Coast who are not being properly compensated.
It can be recalled that last January 25, during the hearing of the Senate Committee on Games, workers from New Coast revealed that they are being paid below minimum wage.
“PAGCOR is laying off more than 700 workers from the said Casino Filipino-New Coast as PAGCOR turns over its operations to a Hong Kong based gaming corporation.”
In the same hearing, it was also discussed that PAGCOR is laying off more than 700 workers from the said casino as PAGCOR turns over its operations to a Hong Kong based gaming corporation.
One day after the hearing, the legislator in his radio program communicated with Martinez who promised him that GCG will work overtime to fix PAGCOR’s CPCS.
In the meeting with the lawmaker, Corpus bared that the salary increase for PAGCOR employees will be retroactive from October 2021.
“The GCG prohibited PAGCOR from firing New Coast employees while their redundancy plan has not been approved.”
Corpus said that GCG prohibited PAGCOR from firing New Coast employees while their redundancy plan has not been approved.
