They were also given training as part of the ECC’s Katulong at Gabay sa Manggagawang may Kapansanan Program.
ECC is a government agency mandated to provide meaningful and appropriate compensation to workers in the event of work-related contingencies. It is a government corporation attached to the Department of Labor and Employment.
“We are very grateful that ECC gives us this opportunity to have our own micro-business. ECC helped us beyond our expectation,” Antonio Capillanes, a former repairman of Globe Telecom, said.
He received a starker-kit for meat processing.
Fernando Saraum, a former seaman, who was also a beneficiary of ECC program, said: “In my entire employment, never have I heard of any Government agencies whose function does not end on giving monetary aid to victims of work-connected contingencies but also rehabilitate the disabled worker both physically and occupationally.”
Saraum said he now has the means to support his family needs through the home-based micro-business that ECC provided. (Albert Bantan)
