CITY OF SAN FERNANDO – Gov. Dennis “Delta” Pineda appealed on Friday to business companies to adapt a ‘pay now, work later’ system as many workers are losing income due to the consequences of Covid-19.
“Lahat po tayong may negosyo ay may tao na arawan. Nakikiusap po ako na baka po pwede niyo namang i-adapt ang ‘pay now, work later,’” Pineda said.
He noted that there are workers who are experiencing financial distress especially with the enhanced community quarantine being strictly implemented.
“Gusto man po nilang magtrabaho, hindi po sila makalabas. Sana po mabigyan ninyo sila ng kahit pang-15 days lang or one month na sahod. Tsaka na lang po natin ikaltas after po ng kalamidad na ito,” he said.
Governor Delta also asked the support of the Pampanga Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Filipino-Chinese Chamber of Commerce, and all the businessmen in the province for his call to give workers consideration during this time of crisis.
“Sa PamCham, Fil-Chinese chamber, sa lahat po ng negosyanye rito sa probinsiya, nakikiusap po ako sa inyo. Sana po i-adapt ninyo ang ‘pay now, work later’, maraming salamat po,” he said.
