Mind boggling indeed. And to think that mayor-VP keeps harping na "pinaunlad niya ang Makati".

My guess is that the Binay's are not pushing for ATMs because there is less paper trail to monitor ghost employees with the envelope sahod system.

Agreed. It is easier to do shenanigans when you pay in cash so that there's no paper trail. Tsk tsk.

Technically, there still is a paper trail in the form of vouchers to be signed by the "employee" who received the cash. The problem with this is that it is a very unreliable system considering anyone can just forge a signature unlike if you receive your salary in the ATM. It presupposes that the bank did its KYC duties and actually has a record (i.e. depositor's information, signature card, valid ID) if its depositor receiving the salary.

Reminds me of the time when the PNP was dogged by allegations (which were somewhat correct) of having ghost police men on its payroll.

Pag naging president si binay lahat ng government employees will be paid in cash. "Ganito kami sa makati, ganito din sana sa buong bansa"

The government unit I work for still pays me in cash. But i work in a municipality, not Makati city.

Still, thank you for giving me your tax money. Hehe.

I think only regular and casual government employees are paid through their ATM payroll account.
Contractual employees (now known as Non-Government Worker) get their pay in cash or sometimes check.
