Overseas employment assistance and the release of livelihood assistance to organization members of displaced workers were provided thru OWWA and the private recruitment agencies.

Meanwhile, registration and assessment of workers/dependents who availed the TESDA scholarship were also given priority. Promo diskwento among suppliers of various food and non-food products, and legal assistance for workers' financial claims from their employers were also facilitated by the RTWPB.

Reports from DOLE bared that out of more than 700 who participated in the caravan, 60 family members/dependents of GFC affected workers from Malimono, Surigao del Norte were given livelihood assistance for the implementation of livelihood projects.

116 displaced workers and dependents were registered and assessed for TESDA training/retraining/retooling scholarship. 65 workers were assisted in the legal queries on labor cases and labor standards and enforcement procedures.

It also solicited a total of 2,652 job vacancies from 7 overseas recruitment agencies and 2 local companies who participated in the jobs fair. 269 were registered, 191 were qualified for further interview, and 24 others were hired on the spot.
