A total of 1,276 beneficiaries received ₱5,200 each through the TUPAD program, an assistance initiative that provides temporary employment to temporarily idle workers.

“The beneficiaries are those who do community work in our area, if you notice, such as sweeping the roads, planting trees, and cleaning the drainage systems in our city,” the mayor said.

Meanwhile, the Tulong-Eskwela Program, the newest program of the city government that aims to meet the needs of students and their families, was also recently launched in the city.
