The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) has extended financial assistance to hundreds of tricycle drivers in the town of Masantol, aiming to alleviate the impact of rising fuel prices on the transport sector.
Payout Details
Mayor Danilo Guintu announced that a total of 432 registered members of Tricycle Operators and Drivers’ Associations (TODA) received P5,000 each during a payout held on Monday. The distribution was carried out by the local government in coordination with the national government through the DSWD and the office of Fourth District Rep. Anna York Bondoc.
Continuing Collaboration
“We continue to coordinate with the national government to bring programs that will benefit every Masantoleño,” Guintu said in a statement. He emphasized that the cash aid is expected to help cover fuel expenses and support the daily needs of the beneficiaries’ families.
The initiative underscores the government’s commitment to providing immediate relief to vulnerable sectors amid economic challenges.
