(PNA file photo) MANILA - Ensuring the welfare of government workers is a vital component of nation-building, especially in times of crisis, hence the full support of the Commission on Human Rights (CHR) on a bill that targets to increase the economic relief allowance of government workers. Senate Bill No. 60, authored by Senator Francis Escudero, seeks to double the amount being received by some 1.8 million government employees under the Personnel Economic Relief Allowance (PERA). Raising the PERA amount from PHP2,000 to PHP4,000 will help state workers cope with the higher prices brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic and oil price hikes. Jacqueline Ann de Guia, CHR Executive Director, said the measure also proposes to provide automatic yearly adjustment equivalent to any increase in the annual inflation rate. She asked lawmakers to support the urgent passage of the bill that will "ensure timely economic relief for all government workers and their families." "Governm
