The Senate President was joined by Senate Secretary Renato Bantug, SENADO president Rosella Eugenio and the officers of the union for signing of the 2024-2028 CNA held at the Session Hall on Thursday, December 5, 2024.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n According to SENADO, the new CNA affirms the Senate\u2019s recognition of employee rights and the promotion of their welfare.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n In his brief remarks during the ceremonial signing, Escudero paid tribute to the employees of the Senate of the Philippines for being \u201cthe wind beneath our wings\u201d and for making the Senators, as the face of the Senate, look good.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cPinapagwapo\u2019t pinapaganda n\u2019yo sila sa trabahong ginagawa ninyo dahil hindi naman nila kayang gawin nang nag-iisa ang lahat ng trabahong iniatas sa amin o inaaatas namin sa kanila. Malaking bahagi nun ay kayo ang gumaganap, kayo ang gumagawa at kayo ang tunay na nagtatrabaho nang mas mahaba pa ang oras kaysa sa amin,\u201d Escudero said.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cAt pinili ko na dito tayo sa Session Hall magkaroon ng ganitong uri ng seremonya upang bigyan kayo ng pagpapahalaga dahil dito namin ginagampanan ang aming tungkulin, nasa likod man kayo ng mga ilaw, nasa likod man kayo ng mga camera, bahagi kayo ng mahalagang trabahong ginagampanan ng Senado sa pagbalangkas ng mga batas na makabuluhan sa ating mga kababayan,\u201d he said.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Among the highlights of the CNA is the recognition given to both casual and contractual employees who have been working at the Senate for years but whose status remain unchanged.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The concerned employees will now be granted step increments in their salaries\u2014increases previously enjoyed only by their permanent counterparts.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n A merit selection and promotion system will also be instituted under the new CNA to ensure the professional growth of the employees by adhering to the principles of merit, fitness and equality in appointments and promotions.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cAng merit and promotion system ay looking inward. Tinitignan sa loob kung sino nga ba ang may kapasidad, may kayang gawin \u2018yung nabakanteng pwesto mula sa loob mismo, permanente man o casual. Ang layunin nito ay simple: Nakakasama naman talaga ng loob na \u2018yung papalit doon sa boss mo dati ay taga-labas na mas alam mo pa ang trabaho kaysa sa kanya,\u201d the Senate chief said.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Citing his experience in local government as the former governor of Sorsogon, Escudero noted how employees are stuck at their current positions for years without any hope for being promoted simply because there is no movement at the top.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cAt may nadiskubre akong benepisyo sa ganyang uri ng paniniwala at polisiya nung ako\u2019y nag-gobernador. Kapag kumuha ka ng galing sa loob na ipo-promote mo, mas maraming liligaya dahil aangat correspondingly \u2018yung mga nasa baba niya,\u201d he said.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Escudero has sought the help of the National College of Public Administration and Governance of the University of the Philippines in rationalizing the positions of each and every office in the Senate. <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cDapat isaayos \u2018yun sa isang simpleng layunin: Sinumang papasok sa pinakamababang pwesto sa Senado dapat meron siyang pwedeng daanan para marating ang pinakamataas na pwestong permanente sa Senado at \u2018yan ay ang Deputy Secretary General,\u201d Escudero said.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cHindi pu-pwedeng walang daan patungo doon ang sinumang magsisimula sa ibaba. Kung siya\u2019y magsisikap, kung siya\u2019y kwalipikado at taglay ang mga katangian para panghawakan anumang mataas na pwestong pinanghahawakan niya sa pangkasalukuyan,\u201d he added.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" SENATE President Francis “Chiz” G.
