MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0— The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) has provided financial assistance to around 286,000 workers affected by the enhanced community quarantine in Luzon amid the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) outbreak.<\/p>\n

According to President Rodrigo Duterte\u2019s third weekly report submitted to Congress, the DOLE has distributed the PHP5,000 cash assistance under the Covid-19 Adjustment Measures Program (CAMP) to 167,941 workers or around 52 percent of its targeted beneficiaries.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, some 118,086 informal workers, or 46 percent of the targeted beneficiaries, have benefited from the Tulong Panghanapbuhay sa Displaced\/Disadvantaged Workers (TUPAD)-Barangay Ko Bahay Ko (BKBK) program.<\/p>\n

Based on the report, around PHP1.046 billion in assistance funds have been provided to beneficiaries of CAMP and TUPAD.<\/p>\n

TUPAD provides the equivalent of a daily minimum wage for 10 days of work for the informal sector workers.<\/p>\n

Tricycle drivers, vendors and other daily wage earners affected by the community quarantines of the LGUs can avail of this emergency employment.<\/p>\n

CAMP, on the other hand, is a safety net program that provides support to affected workers in private establishments that have adopted FWA (flexible work arrangement) or temporary closure during the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

Under the \u201cBayanihan to Heal as One” law, the executive department must submit a weekly report to Congress, every Monday, detailing how he used his special powers to address Covid-19.<\/p>\n

The report must include the amount and corresponding utilization of funds used, augmented, reprogrammed, reallocated, and realigned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
