MANILA, Philippines — Up to 9,364 permanent employees of the Manila city government will receive the third tranche of their salary increase starting Sept. 1, Mayor Isko Moreno announced yesterday.

Despite the city’s tight fiscal position, Moreno said the local government has allocated approximately P99.08 million to boost the employees’ salaries by at least four percent.
