Senator Bong Go dispatched his team to extend additional aid to displaced workers in Carcar City, Cebu.
Held at Barangay Perrelos Gym in the city, 480 displaced workers received shirts, pens, fans, and balls from Go’s team.
To strengthen worker protection nationwide, the veteran legislator filed Senate Bill No. 177.
Under the proposed measure, the Rural Employment Assistance Program (REAP) would be established to provide temporary employment opportunities to qualified individuals affected by economic hardship, poverty, displacement, or seasonal unemployment.
Furthermore, through the national government, the qualified beneficiaries received short-term employment assistance after completing ten days of work.
“Ito ay isang pagkakataon na makatulong sa inyong pamilya habang nakikibahagi sa muling pagbangon ng ating bayan.”
“Ang programa na ito ay naglalayong makatulong sa mga kababayan nating walang trabaho o naapektuhan ang kabuhayan. Ito ay isang pagkakataon na makatulong sa inyong pamilya habang nakikibahagi sa muling pagbangon ng ating bayan,” the seasoned lawmaker explained.
“Patuloy kaming magseserbisyo sa inyo dahil bisyo ko ang magserbisyo at ako ay naniniwala na ang serbisyo sa tao ay serbisyo ‘yan sa Diyos,” the senator concluded.
