San Juan City Mayor Francis Zamora has denied allegations of "political vendetta" behind the non-release of terminal pay to former city hall employees.
"Wala akong iniipit o ginigipit nang dahil sa politika. Sa katunayan, isa si Mayor Guia Gomez sa kauna-unahang nakatanggap ng kanyang Terminal Leave Benefit," he added. He added that during the tenure of Ejercito's mother from 2010 to 2019 likewise failed to settle the tax deficiency for the said fiscal years.
"This unplanned PhP 40,997,942.75 tax payment expense became a setback to the city’s full recovery from the effects of the pandemic and affected the city’s ability to immediately disburse pending payables, including Terminal Leave Benefits," he added. Lastly, Zamora said there is no reason for Ejercito to claim that this is politically motivated given that he supported the lawmaker's senatorial bid in the 2022 polls.
"I just want to be clear na what Mayor Zamora was talking about, it involves a legal issue. Kinontest po talaga namin ang BIR because of what we feel was an erroneous assessment on their part," Ejercito said.
