Pampanga Governor Dennis “Delta” Pineda spearheaded on Thursday, June 19, a dialogue with the 91 salandra workers from Barangay Mancatian, Porac on legalizing sand hauling.
The Provincial Information Office (PIO) said the governor wants the workers to form an association and come up with guidelines to protect their livelihood.
“Ang pagkakaroon ng legal at organisadong salandra workers ay hindi lang para sa kanilang kapakanan kundi para rin sa mas maayos na pangangalaga sa ating kalikasan,” the PIO said.
During the meeting, Pineda also gave assistance to the workers. They received foodpacks and a P2,000 cash incentive each.
Also present at the event were representatives from the Provincial Assessor’s Office and other stakeholders.
