Under the Tulong Panghanapbuhay sa Ating Disadvantaged/Displaced Workers (TUPAD) program, each of the beneficiaries received P4,430 as payment for their emergency employment.

“Magtinabangay ta. Dili tanan panahon naa ang goberno. Kamo pud ang motabang sa inyong kaugalingon (We should help each other. The government will not be there (for you) at all times). You should also help yourselves)," he said.

The payout was conducted at the Children’s Park Pavilion of the Davao de Oro Provincial Capitol Compound.

Aside from the TUPAD payout, 21 local farmers’ associations, cooperatives, and business establishments displayed their products for sale in the said area through a one-day "Kadiwa sa Pangulo para sa Pilipinong Manggagawa."
