An Act Providing For A National Employment Assistance Program And Appropriating Funds Therefor

• This bill aims to institutionalize DOLE’s emergency employment programs, i.e., Adjustment Measures Program (AMP) and the Tulong Panghanapbuhay para sa Ating Disadvantaged/Displaced Workers (TUPAD) into the National Employment Assistance Program. 
• With the institutionalization of these programs there would be no need to convene special task forces that would formulate and implement the government’s plan of action for similar incidents as the mechanisms and funding for these programs are already in place. Hence government action would be swift and more efficient. 
• Every person qualified under this Program shall be entitled to receive compensation for each day of work at the prevailing minimum wage set by the Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board (RTWPB) concerned. LGUs may also provide for additional allowances to the beneficiaries in order to cover for other expenses such as transportation and food.
