CITY OF SAN FERNANDO -- Governor Dennis Pineda said Monday, January 27, that he will not tolerate "non-performing" employees, as he is bent on changing the image of his bureaucracy for Kapampangans.
"One of the problems we have right now dito sa Kapitolyo is yung attitude ninyo sa trabaho," the governor told Capitol employees during the flag ceremony held at the Capitol Grounds on Monday.
He said he has been receiving a lot of complaints regarding the quality of service provided by some employees of the Provincial Government.
Because of this, the governor warned to dismiss erring government officials and employees.
"Hindi porke permanent kayo, secured na kayo sa trabaho," he said.
Pineda slammed how government workers allegedly "disregard" their responsibilities.
"Yung mga retirees, it doesn't mean na pa-retire na kayo wala na kayong gagawin. If you won't perform, we'll file a case against you," he said.
He said even casual and job order employees will not be spared if they remain non-performing.
"Yung mga casuals and job orders, if tamad kayo, I won't think twice to terminate your contract," Pineda said.
He also expressed his disappointment as many government workers do not fully render their eight-hour duty in the office.
"Maraming mga workers ang parating late at absent, nagkwekwentuhan lang sa oras ng trabaho," he said.
"Hindi pwede yan sa administrasyon ko, as long as binabayaran kayo ng gubyerno, kailangan kayong magperform," he added.
To ensure that quality services are met, the governor ordered that all daily time records of tardy employees will be endorsed to him by their respective department heads.
Pineda said the action plan is part of the agenda of his administration to strengthen its workforce and to further improve the services offered by the Provincial Government.
"Nakikiusap ako sa inyo, baguhin niyo ang pananaw niyo sa trabaho. Magtulungan tayo, baguhin natin ang imahe ng Kapitolyo sa mga tao," he said.
To date, at least 3,729 employees are under the supervision of the Provincial Government wherein 1,172 are regular, 759, casual, and 1,842, job order. (PR)
