The DUMPER Party-list, led by Representative Claudine Bautista-Lim, distributed financial assistance to tricycle and habal-habal drivers in Davao Occidental and Davao Oriental earlier this week, as part of its ongoing support programme for transport workers.
Nearly 5,000 beneficiaries received ₱500 each, targeting drivers in the informal sector who remain vulnerable to rising fuel costs and broader economic pressures. The group said the initiative is aligned with its core advocacy of advancing the welfare of drivers nationwide, providing immediate relief while reinforcing longer-term efforts to improve livelihood opportunities in the transport sector.
Bautista-Lim said the distribution marks the initial phase of a broader rollout, with similar programmes expected to be implemented in other provinces as the party-list expands its outreach.
DUMPER Party-list has positioned itself as a representative of transport workers, backing policies and initiatives focused on fuel subsidies, social protection, and sustainable income support.
The DUMPER Partylist is a Philippine political group representing drivers and transport workers, particularly those in the informal sector such as jeepney, tricycle, and habal-habal operators.
It advocates for policies aimed at improving the welfare and livelihood of drivers, including fuel subsidies, social protection, and income support measures.
The party-list has also been active in providing direct assistance through cash aid and community outreach programmes, especially during periods of economic strain.
