THE Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) is set to conduct profiling of workers displaced in Cebu after Typhoon Tino.
In a statement, DOLE-Central Visayas Director Atty. Roy Buenafe said a rapid response team has been deployed to assess the typhoon’s impact on businesses and identify affected workers.
“DOLE Regional Office VII moved swiftly to assess the impact on workers and will provide them with the support they need,” Buenafe said.
“Beyond the numbers, it is the people who matter — the workers who have lost their livelihoods, the families who are facing unimaginable hardship,” he added.
Buenafe said assistance will be immediately extended to displaced workers.
“DOLE Central Visayas will continue to monitor the situation, collaborate with local government units, and provide timely assistance to help rebuild lives and restore hope in affected communities,” he said.
