More than 700 beneficiaries attended the TUPAD orientation held Tuesday, October 14, at the Balayong Basketball Court.
The event was organized by the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) Palawan, in partnership with the City Public Employment Service Office (PESO)–Puerto Princesa and the City Mayor’s Office.
The Tulong Panghanapbuhay sa Ating Disadvantaged/Displaced Workers (TUPAD) program aims to provide temporary employment to displaced, underemployed, and seasonal workers in the city.
“Layunin ng programa na magbigay ng panandaliang trabaho sa mga nawalan ng hanapbuhay, underemployed, at seasonal workers sa lungsod. Sa oryentasyon, ipinaliwanag sa mga benepisyaryo ang mga patakaran ng programa, iskedyul ng trabaho, at mga alituntunin sa kaligtasan habang isinasagawa ang kanilang mga gawain,” City PESO said in a statement.
During the orientation, beneficiaries were briefed on program policies, work schedules, and safety guidelines to be observed during their assignments.
According to City PESO, the project forms part of the city government’s ongoing commitment to deliver assistance and livelihood opportunities to Puerto Princesans.
