The event was held at the Morning Breeze Elementary School and Buena Park.

The TUPAD program is a joint effort between the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) and local governments,  to offer immediate and short-term employment opportunities to eligible residents in times of emergencies.

Caloocan City Mayor Dale Gonzalo “Along” Malapitan expressed his gratitude for the collaboration between the DOLE and the Public Employment Service Office (PESO) in facilitating opportunities for the city's displaced and underemployed workforce.

Thank you all very much)," he said.
