The Paranaque City government launched on Wednesday a “cash for work” project that will help displaced workers in the city who have been adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to Mar Jimenez, Public Information Office chief, 1,000 individuals coming from Districts I and II were chosen for the “cash for work” project of the city government in partnership with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD-NCR).
