Assaulted cashier gets City Hall job

A job at City Hall awaits the eatery cashier who was assaulted by a customer in Manila recently.

Mayor Alfredo Lim, who had ordered the attacker’s arrest, offered jobs Saturday to Marjorie Reginaldo (not Reynaldo as earlier reported), 21, and cousin Angel Macario, 19.

The two cousins took the offer in a press briefing held by Lim, who earlier called for the prosecution of John Paul Encinas, 27.

The laundry shop owner was caught on CCTV assaulting Reginaldo at the counter Sunday last week.

Lim did not say what the jobs would be, but said a new workplace could give Reginaldo some “protection.” Maricar B. Brizuela
