Posted to Kalinaw News (Nov 2, 2020): ASG returnees received cash assistance thru TUPAD program
Isabela City, Basilan – The Tulong Panghanapbuhay sa Ating Disadvantaged/ Displaced Workers (TUPAD) Program of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) released the livelihood cash assistance to thirty-eight (38) Abu Sayaff Group Returnees at the Headquarters of 4th Special Forces Battalion, Barangay Cabunbata, Isabela City on 31 October 2020.
The TUPAD Program is a community-based package assistance that provides emergency employment for displaced worker, underemployed and seasonal workers, for a minimum of 10 days, but not to exceed a maximum of 30 days depending on the nature of work to be performed.
In relation to the Program Against Violent Extremism (PAVE) espoused by the Provincial Government of Basilan, the ASG returnees complemented their work through the application of their vegetable production training provided by the Office of the Provincial Agriculture-Basilan.
Each ASG Returnee were able to receive cash assistance amounting to two-thousand pesos in addition to the rice, cash assistance and other goods previously provided by DOLE last September.
Lt. Col. Alex D. Ampati, the Commanding Officer of 4SFBn, expressed his sincere gratitude to the proponent of the program.
“Nagpapasalamat kami sa mga stakeholders na nagpaabot ng ganitong programa para sa ating mga ASG Returnees. Nakahanda po ang inyong kasundaluhan na makipagtulungan sa iba pang mga programa na magsusulong ng pangmatagalang kapayapaan dito sa Basilan”
At present, the military is in close coordination with other government and non-government agencies and organizations to work on programs that will aid the rehabilitation of ASG Returnees in Basilan. (4SFBN/ODE)
