13th month: a PAY not a bonus!

Why there is a 13-month bonus when it is really isn’t a bonus?

The mystery is finally revealed! When the British were in Singapore, they were being paid weekly & they argued that Singaporeans were actually being cheated into believing that the 13th month pay is a bonus. Singaporeans are being paid monthly which is equivalent to 4 weeks pay coz there are 4 weeks in a month.

As the British were paid weekly, it worked out to the same. You see, there are 7 days in a week. 4 weeks in a month. 12 months in a year. Then 12 months should work out to 48 weeks only. But 1 year actually has 52 weeks!!! Hence the 13th month is your own pay not bonus??!!). So, the British argued that there is in fact no bonus at all??? It is a very simple calculation that stunned many!!!!"

Ilan taon na din akong nedenggoy nun ah..wahaha..buti na lang di na ako nag work at di na din aasa sa 13th month pay..wehehe..so sa mga nagiintay ng 13th month pay nila..good luck!
