"Dahil maagang nakapangulekta ngayon ng ating mga buwis, pasalamat tayo doon sa mga awardees na tumulong ma-develop ang sarili nating computerized revenue system. Kaya maaga din nating ibibigay ang inyong "clothing allowance," mula sa araw na ito pwede nang ninyong makuha depende kung mabilis gumawa ang payroll clerk ninyo, " Lim told the city employees.

Also awarded were Carlo Peña, Vergel Anthony Santiago, Vergel Vincent Santiago, Jaime F. Paningbatan, Philip De Los Santos, and Joni T. Ching.
