Albay Representative Joey Salceda says the Payroll Support for Workers, Entrepreneurs, and Self-employed (PSWES) Program would cover 5.98 million workers for small and medium enterprises, sole entrepreneurs, and freelancers
In a statement on Saturday, Salceda said he had written to President Rodrigo Duterte to propose the program which will"provide relief to formal economy workers, entrepreneurs, and self-employed individuals, who typically belong to the middle class.
He added that the country needed these enterprises to operate"so it’s essential for the economy and for job preservation that we lend them a helping hand.”RELATED: Duterte: Appeal to give cash aid to middle class 'valid'
