A TOTAL of 844 day-care parents in the towns of upper and lower Mariveles in the province of Bataan received orientation regarding the Tulong Panghanapbuhay sa Ating Disadvantaged/Displaced Workers or TUPAD and EduChild Programs recently.
The TUPAD program is a government initiative that aims to provide emergency employment and livelihood opportunities to those who are in dire need. The EduChild Program, on the other hand, is a special project that focuses on the education and development of young children.

“We are grateful for the support of our partners in the government, who are always ready to help us achieve our goals. These programs will greatly benefit our Day Care Parents, who are among the most vulnerable sectors in our community,” Mayor Concepcion said.
Third District of Bataan Representative Gila Garcia, for her part, expressed her full support for the initiatives and vowed to continue working closely with the local government to provide more assistance to the people of Mariveles.
Meanwhile, Bataan Governor Joet Garcia and Vice Governor Cris Garcia commended the local officials for their efforts in promoting the welfare of the people, particularly those who are in need.
“This is a great example of how the government and the community can work together to address the needs of our constituents. We commend the local officials for their dedication and commitment in serving their people,” Governor Joet said.
