More than 860 residents participated in the contract signing and orientation for the Tulong Panghanapbuhay sa Ating Disadvantaged Workers (TUPAD) program held by the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) and the City Government of Caloocan at the Morning Breeze Elementary School and Buena Park.
The TUPAD program is an initiative by the DOLE in partnership with local governments to provide emergency and temporary employment to qualified residents.
City Mayor Dale Gonzalo “Along” Malapitan thanked the coordination of DOLE and the Public Employment Service Office(PESO) to create opportunities for the city’s displaced and underemployed workers and vowed his continued support of such programs.
“Sa akin pong administrasyon, malaking prayoridad po ang pagbibigay ng kabuhayan sa ating mga kababayan kaya asahan niyo po na patuloy ang suporta natin sa TUPAD at sa iba pang programang katulad nito,” Mayor Along said.
“Bunga po ng magandang relasyon sa pagitan ng DOLE at PESO, marami na naman po tayong nga Batang Kankakoo na makikinabang at magkakaroon ng oportunidad kumita. Maraming salamat po sa inyong lahat,” he added.
The City Mayor also encouraged his constituents to continue taking advantage of the assistance provided by both the national and city governments.
“Mga kababayan, sulitin po natin lagi ang nga programang hatid natin. Para po sa inyo ito at huwag nating sayangin ang pagkakataon na kumita at mag-ipon tungon sa isang mas magandang kabuhayan,” Mayor Along stated.
