The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) today will sign a memorandum of agreement with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) to start a program that will provide roadside maintenance jobs to beneficiaries of DSWD’s conditional cash transfer program.
The program, “Trabahong Lansangan ng Programang Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino,” aims to provide employment opportunities among the unskilled Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) beneficiaries of the DSWD.
DPWH Secretary Rogelio L. Singson and DSWD Secretary Dinky Soliman shall also launch the program today at Baseco Compound Covered Court, Tondo, Manila National Capital Region through the formal hiring of workers for road maintenance activities such as drainage declogging and street sweepers.
Under the program, the DSWD will provide priority list of beneficiaries, conduct community organization and social preparation skills inventory and development and conduct regular monitoring/reporting of project operation.
In turn, the DPWH will provide the DSWD the list of its annual labour requirement for skilled and unskilled jobs, allocate 20 percent of its labor requirement to Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino beneficiaries nationwide and ensure implementation of appropriate labor wages.
