Valenzuela City Mayor Rex Gatchalian on Wednesday suspended the business permit of Nexgreen Enterprise, the factory that paid one of its workers’ salary in coins, after its owner admitted not paying their employees appropriately.
Gatchalian said he will be giving Jasper So, the owner of the factory, 15 days to rectify the issue. Otherwise, a revocation of business permit will be issued against him.
“Ngayon, inaamin mo na mali kayo pati sa pagbayad ng sahod, mali kayo. Jasper, inaamin mo yun? Naiintindihan mo anong ibig sabihin pag inamin mo yun? ‘Yung maaring repercussion at parusa sa inyo (Now you’re admitting that you were not paying your employees right? Do you understand what it means, its repercussion and its punishment, when you admit it?),” Gatchalian told So, which the latter did not contest.
