MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) reported on Tuesday that over 630,000 workers have been displaced either by temporary closure or flexible work arrangements due to the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs of March 31, our field monitoring already recorded more than 630,000 workers displaced either by reason of temporary closure or flexible work arrangements as reported by 15,213 establishments,\u201d said DOLE Secretary Silvestre Bello III in a statement.<\/p>\n

Of the number, 169,232 belong to the informal sector, he added.<\/p>\n

Bello said they have released PHP160 million to the affected workers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have so far distributed PHP160 million and we are accelerating the release of assistance to all those affected,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Bello also appealed to establishments to submit requirements for their workers to avail of the cash assistance under its Covid-19 Adjustment Measures Program (CAMP).<\/p>\n

\u201cI, therefore, appeal again to companies that, for the sake of your employees and workers, submit your reports so that we may be able to extend them their most needed assistance under the Covid-19 Adjustment Measures Program,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Bello said the cash aid is different from the allocation of between PHP5,000 to PHP8,000 in subsidy that the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and other agencies are providing under the Bayanihan to Heal As One law.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the new law provides cash and non-cash Emergency Subsidy Program (ESP) for two months based on the prevailing regional wage rates, the DOLE\u2019s CAMP is one-time quarantine assistance,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The ESP targets families with at least one member belonging to vulnerable and disadvantaged sectors such as senior citizens, persons with a disability, pregnant and lactating women, solo parents, overseas Filipinos in distress, indigent indigenous peoples, underprivileged sector and homeless citizens, and informal economy workers.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmong these programs are DSWD\u2019s food and non-food items, cash assistance to individuals in crisis, and livelihood assistance grants; cash assistance of Department of Agriculture to rice farmers; and other programs of the Department of Trade and Industry,\u201d Bello said.<\/p>\n

The DOLE also administers the Barangay Ko, Bahay Ko (BKBK) work scheme of DOLE\u2019s\u00a0Tulong Pangkabuhayan sa<\/em>\u00a0Disadvantaged\/Displaced Workers (TUPAD) program.<\/p>\n

It provides the equivalent of a daily minimum wage for 10 days of work for the informal sector workers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
