Duterte appeals to release 13th month pay in advance
President Rodrigo Duterte on Monday appealed to businesses to consider releasing in advance the 13-month pay or half of the salaries of their employees as the country battles the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic.
“Those big enterprises here, maybe you can consider paying the 13th month pay or just pay them half of their salary if the employees lose their jobs as a way of showing your solidarity to Filipinos at this critical time,” said Duterte in his televised address, March 16.
“Kahit pro-rated lang. Tulong sa ating mga kababayan,” Duterte added.
“Yun sanang malalaking enterprises dito, maybe you can consider paying the 13th month pay or just paying them maski kalahati sa sweldo nila as a way of showing your solidarity with the Filipino at this critical time,” said Duterte.
A 13th month pay is a mandatory benefit provided to employees pursuant to Presidential Decree No. 851 which requires employers to grant 13th month pay to all its rank and file employees.
President Duterte earlier placed the entire Luzon on an Enhanced Community Quarantine and the Stringent Social Distancing Measures over the entire Luzon, effective midnight of March 17, 2020 to midnight of April 13, 2020.
Below is the copy of memorandum from the Executive Secretary on the Enhanced Community Quarantine and the Stringent Social Distancing Measures over the entire Luzon, effective midnight of March 17, 2020 to midnight of April 13, 2020.
