About TUPAD
The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) has initiated the Tulong Panghanapbuhay Sa Ating Disadvantaged/Displaced Workers Program (Tupad) aimed at assisting informal sector workers impacted by the Enhanced Community Quarantine. Below are the essential details:

Individuals below 17 years old are not eligible in accordance with the Anti-Child Labor Law. Workers outside ECQ regions who lost their livelihood due to COVID-19 are also covered. Beneficiaries receiving financial assistance from their LGUs can still apply, provided the total benefit does not exceed Php8,000. Voter registration in your barangay is not a requirement.
The program involves disinfection and sanitation of homes and their immediate surroundings.
Beneficiaries receive employment for 4 hours/day over a 10-day period, with payment equivalent to the regional minimum wage per day. This is a one-time grant; for further assistance, DOLE can refer beneficiaries to DSWD.
