TUPAD is a program under the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) that provides 10-day temporary employment to disadvantaged/displaced workers.
Beneficiaries receive a daily wage of P435 for 4 hours of work, earning for them a total of P4,350 for the 10-day period that will end on March 27, 2023.
Prior to their actual engagement in employment, the beneficiaries were given a basic orientation and provided uniforms.
The TUPAD program had already benefited thousands across all municipalities and the city in the First District especially those whose livelihood and employment had been affected during the COVID pandemic and in the aftermath of Typhoon Odette.
