Good day! Sir/ma’am, papano po yon if yung employer ayaw mag-apply para sa mga trabahador nila? Kawawa na po kasi NO WORK NO PAY po sila at almost 2 weeks na po sila close dahil nga lockdown. Ubos na supply ng pagkain at di rin nabigyan ng relief good kasi pinipili lang ang bigyan. Paano rin po pag walang payroll kasi arawan ang pasahod nila. Sana po matulungan po. Maraming salamat po.
Sir/maam yung chinese restaurant namin nagclose anu po ba yung requirements
Gandang hapon po… ako aya isang joyride biker… kasama po ba kami sa makaktanggap ng dole assistance?
After sending requirements kailan po darating ang 5k na dole assistance?
My nagsabi kasi na manila part muna uunahin. Thank you and god bless.
Regarding sa financial po bakit po sabi ng coor namin na ang mga nakakapasok lang ngayon ang mabibigyan ang usapan po namin na ayos lang kahit hindi kami makapsok basta yung may mga sasakyan samin like motor ang mkakapasok. Diba dapat meron kami dahil apektado kami no work no pay po kami kaya napakalaking bagay ng yung binibigay ng dole saming hindi nakapasok. Tapos ang sagot lang samin is kahit meron man o wala hindi nila sasabihin tama po ba yun??
how about musician or band members who rely for gigs for daily wage and has no company, will they be included?
Ask ko lang po makakuha rin po ba yung na kaka hired palang..magsisimula na sana mag work pero di natuloy dahil pinasara ang papasukan ko dahil sa lock down..kung di nag lockdown myron sana akong kita araw2x..salamat poh..
Yung company namin ayaw pang mag stop sa operations. So meaning hindi kami mako cover ng benefits pag ganun?

IT IS SAID THAT IT IS GIVEN THROUGH BANK TRANSFER, HOW ABOUT ON-SITE WORKERS THAT DO NO HAVE ATM YET IF APPLICATION IS APPROVED?
This is about 5k financial assistance DOLE offer. I just don’t understand why there are some conditions before an affected worker can get it?
according to the memo you sent to the companies..a worker can be qualified only to avail it provided no more leave credits will be applied or no leave credits left.
quarantine period only started last Tue 17/03/20..that’s why it’s not possible that all workers have already used all their leave credits.
and even we still have said credits..that’s not enough since we don’t know until when this deadly plaque will last?
if you say no work no pay is qualified then after we consumed all our leave credits. we will also become “no work, no pay workers” and by that time this financial assistance is no longer available.
So if your office said this is for the welfare of those affected workers, then we are !
We have families we need to feed and support, so please have a consideration.. i am speaking not only for myself but also for all my colleagues in the industry.
So it’s like we make us feel unfair to all of us who still have leave credits not to receive said financial assitance from the Government.
Hoping this will call the attention of the concerned authorities.
Meron po bang matatangap ang jeepney driver na natigil sa pgpasada at San eto kuning o San mgaply pra mkakuha ng financial support dhil wla rin kming nkukuha na khit anung support pgkain medicine o grocery wla po pls help us

Good day maam/sir. Ask ko lang po kung pwede namin ireklamo yung agency or employer namin about sa prograM nyO na 5k financial assistance para sa lahat ng apektado ng covid19. Wala pa po kasi silang ginagawang aksyon sa ngayOn. Ang dahilan po nila matagal daw aNg prOseso at saradO daw ang branch ng dole e samantalang online po ang pag process nito di po ba? At isa pa po nilang dahilan dahil hindi pa daw po namin ramdaM yung crisis dahil may sasahurin naman daw po kami nitong darating na march 25. Tama po ba yung mga dahilan nila?? Sana po matulungan nyo kaming mga empleyado na umaasa sa ibibigay ninyo. Maraming salamat po.

Good day! My dad is a laborer under DPWH here at Tuba, Benguet. However, they were still tasked to work amid the quarantine. Aren’t they also considered to stay at home during the quarantine? Am just worried of my dad and his co-workers’ health due to the COVID-19.
Am really hoping to your consideration. Thank you and God bless.
