In celebration of the 124th Labor Day, the National Anti-Poverty Commission (NAPC), in partnership with the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) and other government agencies, successfully conducted the Workers in the Informal Sector (WIS) activity on May 29, 2026, at the Girl Scouts of the Philippines Headquarters, Capitol Area, Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental.

The activity gathered 110 participants from various associations across the province, providing an avenue for informal sector workers to gain valuable knowledge on government programs, social protection, livelihood opportunities, financial literacy, and skills development initiatives. The event aimed to strengthen support for individuals who earn a living outside formal employment and empower them through accessible government services and programs.

The welcome remarks were delivered by DOLE-Negros Oriental Field Office Chief, Ms. Joselita Remedios S. Bayalas, who emphasized the importance of strengthening collaboration among government agencies to better serve informal workers. Meanwhile, the rationale of the activity was presented by DOLE Livelihood Focal Person, Engr. Rubie B. Cempron, who highlighted the significance of empowering workers in the informal economy through government interventions and continuous support. The activity was also graced by the presence of Workers Welfare Unit Head, Ms. Sandra M. Delfin.

Resource speakers from several government agencies actively participated in the activity, including the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), Department of Agriculture (DA), Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), Social Security System (SSS), Pag-IBIG Fund, PhilHealth, and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA). Each agency presented programs and services designed to improve the welfare, productivity, and economic resilience of workers in the informal sector.

The successful conduct of the 124th Labor Day celebration for Workers in the Informal Sector reflects the government's continuing commitment to promoting inclusive growth, strengthening social protection, and improving the quality of life of Filipino workers in the informal economy.

From temporary employment to lasting community impact, the DOLE-NIR TUPAD Program continues to create opportunities that go beyond emergency assistance. The TUPAD beneficiaries in Sipalay City helped construct makeshift classrooms and support school preparation activities, bringing education closer to learners in Sitio Can-arao, Brgy. Cabadiangan.

More than building structures, beneficiaries helped build hope, strengthen bayanihan, and create safer, more accessible learning spaces for future generations.

The Department of Labor and Employment โ€“ Negros Island Region (DOLE-NIR) has commenced the initial release of financial assistance to sugarcane workers affected by Typhoon Tino under the Social Amelioration Program (SAP).

As of May 14, 2026, DOLE-NIR has already released โ‚ฑ3,657,000.00 out of the โ‚ฑ3,815,000.00 allotted for the first tranche of assistance, benefiting a total of 3,815 sugarcane workers from participating sugar mills in Negros Occidental.

The initial payout covered workers from Binalbagan Isabela Sugar Company (BISCOM), Universal Robina Corporation SONEDCO and La Carlota, Sagay Central, Inc. (SCI), Hawaiian-Philippine Company (HPCO), and Victorias Milling Company (VMC), including both mill workers and field workers whose livelihoods were adversely affected by the typhoon.

Based on the implementation report, BISCOM recorded the highest number of beneficiaries with 900 mill workers receiving assistance distributed on April 24, 2026, amounting to โ‚ฑ899,000.00 released out of the โ‚ฑ900,000.00 allocation. Its field workers also received assistance in two batches: 483 workers with โ‚ฑ475,000.00 released on April 29, 2026, and another 300 field workers with โ‚ฑ266,000.00 released on May 13, 2026.

URC SONEDCO distributed assistance to 520 mill workers with โ‚ฑ482,000.00 released from the โ‚ฑ520,000.00 allocation on April 28, 2026. Meanwhile, URC La Carlota provided assistance to 324 mill workers and 158 field workers, with releases totaling โ‚ฑ315,000.00 and โ‚ฑ154,000.00, respectively.

SCI also completed the distribution to its 322 mill worker beneficiaries with โ‚ฑ321,000.00 released, while HPCO distributed โ‚ฑ296,000.00 to 308 mill workers. VMC likewise released โ‚ฑ449,000.00 to its 500 mill worker beneficiaries.

DOLE-NIR emphasized that the current distribution represents only the initial implementation of the program. Subsequent releases to additional sugar mills and qualified beneficiaries are expected in the coming weeks as validation and coordination activities continue.

The agency assured sugarcane workers and stakeholders that efforts are continuously being undertaken to facilitate the prompt release of assistance, particularly to workers greatly affected by disruptions in work and income caused by Typhoon Tino.

Through the Social Amelioration Program (SAP), DOLE-NIR continues to uphold its commitment to protecting the welfare of sugarcane workers by providing immediate financial relief and helping affected communities recover from the impact of calamities.
