TRANSLATION COST

The newly-renovated Ilocos Norte Provincial Capitol, where the the Provincial Treasury Office occupies the east wing 
A purely technical two-month translation job is only worth P10,000, according to the Provincial Treasury Office of Ilocos Norte. What was their basis for rating the translators?  It was a two-men work, which means that the translators were paid P2,500  each per month translating into Iluko the New Revised Revenue Code of Ilocos Norte. A pittance. An insult to the training and special skills of the translators, who originally suggested P17,000 for their efforts. To add icing on the insult, the translators were made to wait for at least three weeks for the release of the check. One of the translators made a " follow-up" on the check on a daily basis. Can they complain to Governor Imee Marcos for the insult heaped upon them by the Provincial Treasury Office?
