DINALUPIHAN, Bataan—To make sure displaced workers here have something for New Year given the COVID-19 pandemic situation, Mayor Gila Garcia fast-tracked needed requirements for the 234 displaced workers here to be accommodated in the Department of Labor and Employment’s TUPAD Program.
On Sunday, the beneficiaries who have yet to complete the 10 days of work already received their allowance of P4,200 each.
“Binigay na ho natin sahod nyo para makaabot sa New Year kahit di pa tapos yung sampung araw na trabaho ninyo. Si Mayor Gila Garcia ho talagang hinabol nya yung mga requirements para maisama at maihabol kayo sa TUPAD program ngayong papatapos na ang taon,” Senior Labor and Employment Officer Eloisa Mercado told beneficiaries during the payout.
“Lahat po ng programa ng DOLE suportado ni Mayora Gila Garcia,” Mercado said.
Garcia said: “Sa loob ng 10 araw magtatanim sila ng gulay sa bakuran nila o sa common area ng barangay at may sahod sila ng P420 bawat araw.”
The lady mayor also said: “Kasi di ba pandemic ngayon yung itatanim nila ay pagkain din nila para maging malusog sila.”
She said the vegetable seedlings are provided by the municipal government. Beneficiaries must submit three photos per day while working as accomplishment report.
