On July 16, 2024, First District Representative Jolo Revilla and the Office of the Provincial Public Employment Service Manager (OPPESM) organized a coastline clean-up drive in Wawa I, Rosario, Cavite as part of a joint effort to save the environment and support local livelihoods. This program, which is a component of the Tulong Panghanapbuhay sa Ating Disadvantaged/Displaced Workers (TUPAD) project of the Department of Labor and work (DOLE), aims to provide temporary work while addressing the urgent problem of coastal pollution.
TUPAD recipients put in a lot of effort, armed with garbage bags and a shared will to get rid of trash, plastic garbage, and other contaminants that degrade the health and beauty of the coastline.
The TUPAD initiative, known for providing short-term employment to the unemployed or displaced, allowed members to earn money while also helping to clean up the environment. This coastal cleanup is part of a larger effort to promote environmental sustainability and increase community involvement.
