Transcript

00:00The Department of Labor and Employment, DOLE, has already distributed aid

00:04for the livelihood of those affected by the oil spill in Bataan.

00:08This is what Noel Talacay reported.

00:10The Department of Labor and Employment allocated P45 billion for their Cash for Work Program

00:19to the beneficiaries, the workers who lost their jobs due to the oil spill in Bataan.

00:26This is what Noel Talacay reported in a press conference earlier this morning.

00:32The agency is also consulting the local governments to get the number of affected workers.

00:40As we speak, some 1,357 Tupad workers are helping in cleaning and collecting hash and cut hair.

00:53If you want to get your hair cut, you can donate your hair so that it can be used for the spill boom.

01:03That's what they're doing right now.

01:05They also added that P20 million was given to Region 4A because it also identified displaced workers

01:16who lost their jobs due to the oil spill, including the National Capital Region.

01:21The inter-agency group is monitoring the movement because sometimes,

01:29the spill in other parts of Manila Bay is being swept away.

01:36The Department of Labor and Employment also announced that not only the fishermen and farmers

01:40will be included in the Cash for Work Program, but also those who lost their jobs due to the oil spill.

01:47Our regional offices are also starting to provide assistance.

01:52They are not the only ones who are looking for help because the program of DOLE,

01:58whose name is Tupad, is for displaced and disadvantaged workers.

02:03According to DOLE's statistics, more than 1,000 people have been paid from Tupad in Tanza, Cavite.

02:11But the agency's target is to benefit 7,000 to 8,000 individuals from the coastal areas of Naik, Bacoor, Tanza, and many more.

02:23DOLE is also providing profiling to vendors who may be affected by the oil spill.

02:30DOLE will also share with regional offices our livelihood assistance to those affected.

02:38This past month, there was an oil spill in Caragatan ng Bataan during the earthquake.
