Victorias LGU distributes equipment to child dev’t workers

The Victorias City government distributed laptops, printers, and televisions to all 49 Child Development Workers (CDWs) to strengthen early childhood education during a ceremonial turnover held at the Don Alejandro Acuña Yap Quiña Arts and Cultural Center on October 21.

The initiative demonstrates the city’s commitment to enhancing the quality of education for young learners and improving the operational efficiency of its CDWs, a press release from Victorias City government said.

Mayor Javier Miguel Benitez highlighted the importance of investing in education, calling it a “long-term investment” that begins with empowering teachers and students alike.

Benitez reiterated the city’s dedication to ensuring that educators have access to the tools necessary for effective teaching, especially for children in their critical formative years.

On the other hand, a total of 100 Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) beneficiaries recently received their Tulong Panghanapbuhay sa Ating Displaced/Disadvantaged Workers (TUPAD) payout under the Uswag Ilonggo Party List Fund held at Gloriville Subdivision, Barangay XIII,also in Victorias City.

The TUPAD program, administered by the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), offers a community-based package of emergency employment assistance to displaced workers, underemployed individuals, and seasonal workers.

Beneficiaries are provided with short-term employment, ranging from 10 to 30 days, depending on the nature of the work, in line with DOLE’s guidelines.

The 100 OFW beneficiaries worked for 10 days and each received a salary of P4,800.

The beneficiaries have been actively involved in various social and community projects, including waste clearing and segregation, unclogging of waterways, and the repair and maintenance of public facilities such as schools and health centers.*
