President Marcos led the distribution of various government assistance packages to beneficiaries in Pasay City as he vowed to prioritize the welfare and protection of workers under his administration ahead of the nation’s celebration of Labor Day.
“Kaya inaatasan ko ang lahat ng mga kaugnay na ahensya, lalong-lalo na ang DOLE, na manatiling nakatuon sa paghahatid ng mga maiinam na programang pang hanapbuhay at sa paglinang sa kaalaman at kasanayan ng ating mga manggagawa,” he added.
Among the assistance packages and initiatives Marcos mentioned are the Department of Labor and Employment’s Tulong Panghanapbuhay sa Ating Disadvantaged Workers and Integrated Livelihood Program, Government Internship Program , Special Program for Employment of Students , and tool kits from the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority .
“Bilang panimula, naririyan ang pamimigay ng DOLE ng ayuda na aabot sa mahigit 1 bilyong piso, mula sa mga programang panghanapbuhay nito,” Marcos said. “Mayroon din tayong mga job and livelihood fairs […] Mahigit na 50,000 na hanapbuhay sa buong bansa ang dala-dala ng job fair na ito; at 12,000 ng mga trabahong ito ay nandito sa Metro Manila,” he added.
He also mentioned the initiatives under his Kadiwa ng Pangulo para sa mga Manggagawa, which aims to aid farmers, fisherfolk, and small business owners, and a raffle with a prize house and lot for three lucky winners.INQUIRER.net wants to hear from you!
