Some 4,500 Tulong Panghanapbuhay sa Ating Disadvantaged/Displaced Workers (TUPAD) beneficiaries received their payouts at the Bren Z. Guiao Convention Center in the City of San Fernando, Pampanga, on 20 December 2025.

According to the provincial government, each beneficiary received P5,700 as payment for 10 days of work under the TUPAD program of the Department of Labor and Employment.

Governor Lilia Pineda and Vice Governor Dennis Pineda expressed their gratitude to DOLE for continuing to provide livelihood programs that support Kapampangans. The provincial government also distributed food packs and maintenance medicines to the kabalens.

DOLE Regional Director Geraldine Panlilio, Assistant Regional Director Alex Cruz, Provincial Director May Lynn Gozun, 2nd District Board Member Fritzie David-Dizon, Sajid Khan Eusoof, Atty. Claire Lim, 4th District Board Member Dra. Kaye Naguit, PESO Pampanga head Luningning Vergara, and Chief of Staff to the Vice Governor Angelina Blanco were present during the handoff.

TUPAD payouts are financial assistance provided by DOLE through emergency employment, offering beneficiaries temporary work, such as community clean-up activities, for a period of 10 to 30 days at minimum wage. Payouts are typically released by local government units or DOLE offices upon completion of the work, either in cash or through digital channels, to provide short-term income support.

Payout schedules vary by location and project, and beneficiaries are advised to coordinate with their local PESO office or DOLE branch for specific dates and requirements.
