MAKATI CITY — A total of 2,343 qualified beneficiaries have officially joined the Pantawid Trabaho Program (PTP) 2026 Batch 3, following an orientation conducted by the Makati City Government through its Public Employment Service Office (PESO) at the Makati Coliseum. The beneficiaries will receive temporary employment for 15 days, from September 9 to 23, 2026, giving them an opportunity to earn income while gaining practical workplace experience. Beyond short-term financial assistance, the program aims to help participants develop skills and build a stronger foundation for future employment.
Creating Opportunities for Makati Workers
For the beneficiaries, PTP offers more than a temporary source of income. The work experience can help participants strengthen their skills, improve their confidence, and become better prepared for future employment opportunities. It can also provide support to individuals who may have encountered difficulties entering or returning to the formal workforce. The temporary employment can likewise help beneficiaries manage their immediate household needs while continuing to pursue more stable livelihood and career opportunities. By providing both income and work exposure, the city government is helping residents take practical steps toward greater economic security.
Preparing Participants for Future Employment
The orientation introduced beneficiaries to the program’s guidelines, assignments, responsibilities, and workplace expectations ahead of the 15-day employment period. This preparation is intended to help participants understand their roles and contribute effectively throughout the program. Through structured assignments and hands-on work experience, beneficiaries can develop competencies that may strengthen their resumes and improve their readiness for future job opportunities. The initiative demonstrates how temporary employment programs can serve as a bridge between immediate financial assistance and longer-term workforce participation. Through PTP 2026 Batch 3, Makati continues to provide residents with opportunities to earn, learn, and gain valuable experience while supporting the development of a more capable and employment-ready workforce.
