Providing an immediate response after facing sudden income loss and employment displacement, 20 construction workers-survivors from the Golden Years Construction and Steelworks Corp. received their salary after a 20-day work under the TUPAD Program of the Department.
Following the collapse of the building last May, DOLE Pampanga TUPAD and DILP team conducted a profiling among the survivors to provide them assistance through the existing DOLE programs.
During the conduct of the profiling, 20 out of the 24 survivors were present, according to their fellow workers the remaining 4 returned back to their hometown in the Bicol Region immediately following the incident.
After the conduct of profiling and assessment to the survivors, it was identified that the TUPAD Program was the most effective and immediate intervention that can be extended to them since most of them had no permanent dwelling in the province to sustain a micro-enterprise under DILP.
Among the 20 survivors, 9 were identified as residents of Pampanga, 3 from Bulacan, 1 from Tarlac while the remaining 6 were residing outside Central Luzon like Cavite, Manila, Camarines Sur, and Antique.
These survivors worked for 20 days in assisting in clean-up operations around the command center and distribution of food and water to rescuers, volunteers, and various government agencies responsible in the area from June 4 to June 23.
On July 01, the 20 survivors received their salaries amounting to P12,000 each for the 20 day work program or a total of P240,000 at DOLE Pampanga Field Office.
On June 17, Secretary Francis N. Tolentino announced that the Department ordered the Golden Years Construction and Steelworks Corp. to pay P11.7M in labor violations and penalties under the Occupational Safety and Health Standards.
