Governor Tamayo allocates 1 million pesos prize for employee fitness and wellness program

Governor Reynaldo Tamayo, Jr. announced yesterday, February 19, 2024 during the Monday Convocation Program at the Provincial Capitol, that he will allocate 1 million pesos out of his personal funds as a prize for the fitness and wellness program of employees of the provincial government of South Cotabato. This generous gesture comes in light of Governor Tamayo's recent angioplasty procedure, which required him to take a two-week leave from work.

Addressing the assembled employees, Governor Tamayo emphasized the importance of prioritizing health, stating, "I do not want you to experience what I have gone through, and I believe that when our employees are in good health, their performance in serving our constituents will also be improved."

Governor Tamayo further directed the establishment of a fitness gym at the Provincial Capitol for employees' use. The gym will be located on the rooftop of the capitol building and will feature a variety of exercise equipment. Employees will have free access to the gym during office hours, catering to their individual schedules.

The initiative aims to promote a culture of health and wellness among provincial government employees, emphasizing the importance of physical fitness in maintaining overall well-being and productivity in the workplace.
