The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) on Monday reported that 939,209 informal sector workers hard hit by the Covid 19 pandemic, those affected by the successive typhoons last month, were served under the program and paid more than P4.5 billion in wages in just close to two months.
Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III said the record implementation of TUPAD is pursuant to the directive of President Duterte to speed up assistance to the most vulnerable members of society.
“And this was precisely the instruction we issued to our regional offices: expedite the release of assistance to our workers,” he said in a statement.
CALOOCAN CITY, Dec. 16 (PIA) – The regional office of the Department of Labor & Employment in the National Capital Region in coordination with the City Government of Muntinlupa hired some 177 displaced workers to participate in a clean-up drive at the Laguna de Bay following the onslaught of the recent typhoons.
The workers were employed through the Tulong Panghanapbuhay para sa Displaced/Disadvantaged Workers (TUPAD) of the DOLE.
Muntinlupa City, which shares a border of the Philippines largest lake, was overcrowded with water lilies and had been preventing the local fishermen residing near the area to earn a living.
According to the DOLE-NCR MUNTAPARLAS Field Office the displaced worker-beneficiaries came from Barangays Putatan and Bayanan and were hired for 14 days at four (4) hours per day beginning November 27, 2020 to clean some parts of the lake.
