THE government will provide financial aid to laborers in agriculture and other sectors impacted by the El Niño phenomenon, President Marcos announced during the 122nd Labor Day commemoration on Wednesday.
“Sa susunod na araw ay magpapaabot tayo ng tulong pinansyal sa mga lubhang naapektuhan ng El Niño sa buong bansa – yaong mga nasiraan ng pananim at kabuhayan dahil sa tagtuyot,” President Marcos said in his speech during the 122nd Labor Day commemoration at the Malacañan Palace on Wednesday.
Marcos said the assistance supplements existing aid programs by the Departments of Agriculture, Social Welfare and Development, and Labor and Employment.
The government, the President said, will prioritize helping those affected in Mindanao. (GP)
