The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) announced on Thursday that it will set aside PHP130 million to provide cash assistance to 25,000 workers in regions designated as Alert Level 3 in some parts of the nation.

“According to statistics from our establishment report system, roughly 25,000 workers have been affected by permanent closure, retrenchment, and interim closure as of January 23.” In a Laging Handa briefing, Labor Assistant Secretary Dominique Tutay remarked, “We will be downloading certain money totaling to around PHP130 million to be able to accommodate the initial 25,000 affected workers.”

She explained that the initial financing comes from a PHP1 billion allocation from the Department of Labor and Employment’s (DOLE) budget for this year’s Covid-19 Adjustment Measures Program (CAMP) 3.

Employees who lost their employment or were temporarily employed as a result of the announcement of Alert Level 3 and up are covered by the program.

“Those workers in the formal sector who are affected by the Alert Level 3 announcement, regardless of their job status – regular, casual, on probation, contractual workers,” Tutay noted.

A total of 200,000 workers are projected to profit from the program.

The beneficiaries of CAMP 3 would receive one-time monetary assistance of PHP5,000.

This week, the cash aid application was opened.

Companies and individuals can apply online at reports.dole.gov.ph by submitting their applications and required papers.

For questions about the program, they can call the DOLE hotline 1349 or the DOLE Regional and Field offices, whose phone numbers can be found on the DOLE website under Contact Us, dole.gov.ph.
