Nominee Karla Estra leads TUPAD payout to 500 beneficiaries in Leyte
DAGAMI, Leyte – TINGOG nominee and popular actress-singer Karla “Mamshie” Estrada on Tuesday afternoon led the Tulong Panghanapbuhay sa Ating Disadvantaged/Displaced Workers (TUPAD) payout to at least 500 beneficiaries here.
Estrada, the very proud mother of actor and recording artist Daniel Padilla, said she hopes that Tingog’s cash-for-work program under the Department of Labor and Employment (DoLE) led by Sec. Silvestre “Bebot” Bello III will help displaced workers battle the pandemic.
She assured that the Tingog Party-list group led by Rep. Yedda Marie K. Romualdez will continue to work diligently to deliver the compassionate programs for the people, including the distribution of cash assistance through DoLE Region VIII.
Norman L. Uyvico, an official of DoLE North Leyte Field Office, recognized the crucial role of the Tingog Party-list group in the smooth implementation of the program in Eastern Visayas.
Tingog staff Jingle Sudario, who contributed hugely to the successful TUPAD payout, also said the party-list group also distributed 10 wheelchairs during the event.
Bello said TUPAD is a community-based package of assistance that provides emergency employment for displaced workers, underemployed and seasonal workers, for a minimum period of 10 days, but not to exceed a maximum of 30 days, depending on the nature of work to be performed. He said only the following types of projects can be supported with such assistance:
