00:00The sector of tourism industry is considered marginalized and vulnerable.

00:07That's why the Tourism Department and the Department of Social Welfare and Development

00:12passed an agreement to help the tourism workers affected by calamities.

00:18This is what Rod Lagusan wrote.

00:22To help the tourism workers affected by calamities,

00:26the Department of Tourism and the Department of Social Welfare and Development

00:30passed a Memorandum of Agreement.

00:32My secretary, Christina Garcia Frasco,

00:34under the program, is already part of the priority to help the affected tourism workers.

00:40This means that they are already a priority in the emergency cash transfers

00:44and cash for work program of the DSWD.

00:46What this partnership does is to institutionalize the mechanism

00:52to provide financial assistance as well as livelihood training

00:57so that the hardship of life, the end of calamity,

01:02can be given relief through continuous livelihood.

01:07The DOT will provide alternative livelihood training,

01:11including community-based culinary and basic health care.

01:14According to Frasco, this will help in the transition period

01:17by correcting calamities and recovery.

01:20Because the trade of a tourism worker is an alternative skill,

01:23it still has a livelihood.

01:25Meanwhile, the DSWD will provide cash assistance.

01:28According to Secretary Rex Gatchalian,

01:30tourism workers are considered marginalized and vulnerable.

01:34This is a big burden for tourism when it comes to the country's economy.

01:38It's not good enough to look at,

01:41but if we don't have citizens to manage our tourism destinations,

01:46we won't be able to unlock the value of our tourism destinations.

01:50We won't put a cap on it because you know that

01:53a part of the menu of the DSWD services

01:56is to help all those affected in these calamities.

02:00So we can't say that it's just up to this point.

02:02It's important to support the development of tourism workers in the tourism industry.

02:07The pilot of the program in Davao, Oriental and Surigao del Sur was conducted last year.

02:12Marites was only able to help after their location in Caraga was flooded.

02:16We were given time to look at tourism

02:21because that's one of the things that helped us,

02:24not only in catching fish,

02:26but it also helped tourism

02:31because we were able to earn income, like me, from the tour guide.

02:35In addition to this,

02:36tourism workers affected by the continuous eruption of the Canlaon volcano

02:40will be able to receive assistance under the program.
