The Quezon City government has started distributing the P2,000 aid to over 28,000 workers who were displaced during the reimposition of the Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) from Aug. 6 to 20.
“Ayuda will be given to workers residing in the city who were not given salaries during the two-week ECQ and self-employed individuals whose jobs were not permitted during the said quarantine period. We will also provide assistance to those who are not beneficiaries of the ECQ financial assistance of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD),” Mayor Joy Belmonte said.
Through the city’s Kalingang QC sa Manggagawa program for displaced workers, QC residents who have lost their jobs and sources of livelihood are entitled to get financial assistance.
The city government has approved 28,000 recipients of the program, who can get the cash assistance until next week.
Applicants for cash aid presented a valid government ID showing their address, certification from their employer or payslip showing that they did not receive their salary for the duration of ECQ, or a certification from the barangay that their business or job was not permitted and they did not earn during that period.
They filled up and submitted application forms and other documents to their respective barangays.
The complete list of the qualified recipients is posted on the Quezon City government website.
