Pueblo de Oro Provides Temporary Shelter for Its Workers

2020 Apr 28 | by Apple Barretto

These  challenging times have brought about an increased sense of humanity, community, and compassion.

Pueblo de Oro Development Corporation “Pueblo de Oro” has opened its doors to its housing  workers  amid  the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.

Pueblo de Oro provided 156 workers with sleeping areas, access to clean bathrooms and food assistance to support the  community quarantine in Batangas. This is Pueblo de Oro’s ways of thanking them and recognizing the sacrifice they and their families are doing   to help halt the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.

The assistance comes in the heels of the  President’s  order for  an Enhance Community Quarantine leaving a good number of workers and daily wage labourers stranded in  the construction sites and unable to go  home to their families.

With the workers’ predicament, Pueblo de Oro decided to provide temporary shelter and food  to lessen the risk of them contracting the virus. The rice assistance program is an ongoing humanitarian effort  in coordination with  Pueblo de Oro’s  sister  company , Science Park of the Philippines.
