Bong Go’s team assists displaced workers in Talavera, Nueva Ecija

Senator Christopher "Bong" Go, adopted son of Nueva Ecija, provided on Friday, 6 October, various forms of assistance to underprivileged residents and displaced workers in Talavera, Nueva Ecija, with 377 beneficiaries benefitting from the outreach.

Go's team, in collaboration with the office of Congressman Gay Padiernos, distributed snacks and shirts to each beneficiary. Furthermore, the senator's staff also gave away shoes, and balls for basketball and volleyball to select recipients.

The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) also offered employment assistance through the Tulong Panghanapbuhay sa Ating Disadvantaged/Displaced Workers (TUPAD) program for qualified disadvantaged and displaced workers.

"Sa pamamagitan ng programa na ito, ang gobyerno ay tumutulong sa mga manggagawang naapektuhan ng krisis at nakakapagbigay ng pansamantalang trabaho sa kanila," Go said in a video message.

"Patuloy po tayong magtutulungan upang mas mapabuti pa ang kalagayan ng ating mga disadvantaged at displaced workers. Magkasama tayo sa layuning ito na makabuo ng mas ligtas at mas matatag na lipunan para sa lahat ng Pilipino," he added.
