Former Cebu City Mayor Tomas Osmeña deviced a yearly payment plan for four years to pay the P20,000 disallowance by the teachers through the a P5,000 deduction every year.Labella said the COA’s concern centered then on the source of funds of the COLA, which was the special educations fund. The mayor said that an appeal on the 2017 COA ruling is still pending in court, which means that there is a chance that the COLA disallowance will be overturned and the money, amounting to P15,000 returned by the teachers to the city government, will be given back to them.
Teachers in the 28 mountain barangays will have a higher COLA, amounting to P2,000 because the mayor said they spend more with their transportation.
