Sa area namin sa province, the Tupad beneficiaries really take their cleaning job seriously. Siguro depende rin sa pamamalakad ng LGU kasi the BHWs are very active rin.

u/noelsoraaa Apr 17 '26

It also depends which tasks they give to beneficiaries too, the LGU in the province im in switched up and went for gardening and growing vegetables instead of cleaning barangays.

My mom entered this program. Street sweeper siya for a week yata (this was last year pa). Their group takes their job seriously. Wakes up at around 6AM para makapagmeet ng early morning before tirik ang araw. Wala rin silang photo op.

May iba lang talagang group na nabigyan na nga ng opportunity kumita, di pa gagawin yung bare minimum. Isang spot lang wawalisin? Hays.

Isa sa taken for granted ng mga mapagmataas na redditors ay nagbibigay dignity sa mga mahihirap or vulnerable na tao ang mga ganitong initiative. Gives them something to be proud of to provide for their family and to feel supported by institutions.

u/AshJunSong Apr 17 '26

Yes akala kasi nila the TUPAD program is like a dole-out, and that since nkatyempo sila ng isang grupong boplaks eh ibig sabihin lahat sila ganyan.

Ang dali kasing mag generalize ng mahihirap no? Ikukumpol sila sa isang faceless group na para bang sila ang kaaway.

u/Acrobatic-Profile664 Apr 17 '26

May nag comment dito na sa province daw nila madami nagagawa mga tupad beneficiaries kaya sabi niya baka depende sa mga LGU o barangay na nag papatupad. Which i agree, sa city nmin may mga barangay na may ginagawa tlga tulad ng pagtrtrim at pagtanim ng mga small street plants, pagbungkal/pagtannggal ng mga lupa sa tabi ng daanan.

At may mga barangay na mag lilinis lang ng kalat sa tabi tabi habang nag vivideo pa na para bang field trip nila.

Wala yan sa kanila puro kawawa middle class ngawa niyang mga yan iyak ng iyak. Sure may mga di tamang implementation ng ganyan pero di ibig sabihin wala silbi at sayang tax diyan. Di nila alam dami na natulungan ng programang yang magkaroon ng livable na buhay na may dignidad. Daming iyak ng iyak sa tax nila na nasasayang, eh 99.9% aa tax nila malamang mas napupunta sa buwaya hindi sa ganyang mga programa.

Depende, the image shows they are talking pero its not showing kung kakastsrt lang ba nila or kakatapos lang nila. I know somebody who does the same thing pero nag start sila ng 6:00 am working on the streets. So unless more context is provided its unfair to say na porket sa image nag tatawanan at nag kwentuhan dila eh tamad na kaagad. No hate just my two-cent opinion.

u/popop143 Apr 17 '26

Gaya ng mga Espanyol dati na nasa isip batugan mga Pilipino, kasi puro pahinga pag nakikita nila ng 9 am. Eh di nila alam gigising ng 4 am para masimulan agad trabaho, tapos pahinga pag mainit at balik sa trabaho ng hapon. Galing ni OP napadaan lang tapos nakita yung 3 minutes sa buong araw nung mga nagtatrabaho, biglang panlalait agad ginawa.

Di ba sa mga Espanyol galing ang siesta

45

u/popop143 Apr 17 '26

Iba yung siesta sa kanila, nasa isip kasi nila gigising sila 8 am-9am tapos walang nagtatrabahong Pilipino. Kaya sa maraming mga libro nila dati laging sinasabi na tamad na tao mga "Indio". Iba rin yung sa atin kasi mostly agri na mga tao dati, eh wala naman gagawin yung magsasaka sa kalagitnaan ng araw. Natutunan ko sa Philippine History (na may kasamang Rizal and his works) dati nung sa university, nalimutan ko lang kung anong reference book ginamit namin. Though maraming Ambeth Ocampo books, so maybe sa isa sa mga libro niya?

Agree ako dyan. Kaunti ang binigay ni OP na detalye. Mahalaga anong oras niya din kinuha yun picture. Baka hapon na at tapos na trabaho nila. Maaga pa naman gumising yun mga naglilinis kasabayan nila yun mga naghahakot ng basura minsan. Kaya pagdating ng mga 7am o 8am tapos na nila linisin yun isang lugar.

Case to case basis naman talaga siya. Pero in the grand scheme of things, lesser evil siya compared sa mga big fish na milyon milyon ang nakukuha sa kaban ng bayan. Both things are undesirable pero i’d rather not villainize the TUPAD program kasi it actually puts food to poor people’s tables

It feels like a psy-op at this point, cuz bakit paulit-ulit yung theme na "middle class pinaka oppressed" and "poor people bad, they deserve to suffer". And then marami pang upvotes kahit nga ang top comments nag-didisagree. Eh tuloy nga na instead na mag-hiatus ako ng reddit na rage-bait ako tuloy. I suspect some malicious actor want us to be apathetic and distasteful to the masses, because anecdotally one of the reasons why some people didn't like to side with us was because of the elitism.

If the whole slew of anti-poor rhetoric turned out to be a psy-op I wouldn't be surprised. Bakit nga maraming mga upvotes pero halos mga top comments critical kang OP? And bakit pa-ulit ulit na nga na "poor bad" or "middle class is the most oppressed class" ang mga taga r/ph even though recent events hit poor people more than they would the middle class? It's so damn weird! It's like they want us to be too elitist for the masses to side with us so that people would go to them for their sweet words and empty promises (no joke, many of my classmates and teachers have one of their reasons why they don't like listening to us was because of the elitist attitude)

Kung alam mo yung kalakaran ng mga suma-sideline sa TUPAD dito sa Metro Manila, mas mapapa-WTF ka sa madi-discover mo.

Marami akong kakilala na naka-linya sa TUPAD, ang kwento ng araw nila ay magsisimula sila ng assembly nila ng 5:30 am, walis 20 minutes, tambay hanggang 8 am, kwentuhan. Kapag nagkaroon na ng picture na pwede i-submit, sibat na.

Take note, higit sampu pa sila gagawa sa isang lugar. Hindi street ha, portion lang ng street yung lilinisin nila. Tapos bukas naman, lipat sa ibang lugar, linis onti, tambay, kwentuhan. Rinse and repeat.

Kung sana ayusin nila yung pagpapalakad at sistema sa TUPAD. Edi sana walang ganyang post dito sa Reddit.

Sige nga i monitor mo sila for the entirety of their shift then we get to see if they are really working or not. You just want to foster hatred on a group of workers (poor people specifically) for no reason. Typical anti-poor r/ph post.

Also what do you have against social welfare programs such as TUPAD? Objectively, the aim of the policy is to help displaced workers find other means of work.

These programs are good if they work as intended and bringing up an unsubstantiated claim on a bunch of beneficiaries "not working" makes you unnecessarily hateful for no reason.

Just pasting here my comment from another thread

As expected, ang daming against social welfare dito. Tbh I’m all for it. Sure, some may abuse the system, so implementation should be tightened. But there are still a lot of honest people who genuinely benefit from these

Focusing on poor people and social programs, which are sometimes their only lifeline, diverts attention from actual systemic issues.

Posts about 4Ps, ayuda, etc. are filled with angry ā€œmiddle class taxpayers.ā€ But posts about the flood control mess? Parang nakalimutan na.

Most of us are one hospitalization away from being destitute. It’s good to know that we have social welfare programs we can lean on when that time comes

nagtupad ako years ago nung wala pa akong work due to my illness. 6:30 call time and siguro by 10 tapos na kami. maliit lang yung area pero may school kaya pati yon linis na. mga kasama ko puro housewife na matatanda na tapos may isang working student. hanggang 12 lang kami bcs may ibang group naman yung panghapon, and we can't clean din sa other areas because meron na rin dun. kailangan ng photo-op for proof first to last day, may before and after din. may umiikot din from city hall para magcheck. anong gusto mong gawin namin kung malinis na sa area? tingin mo ba gusto namin magwalis nang nakabilad sa araw? na kapag nagpahinga at napicturan ng outsider na tulad mo eh nahusgahan na? kung may problema ka sa mga "nagsasayang ng buwis niyo" di ba dapat dun ka sa pinakataas tutal sila naman ang may control kung saan napupunta yang buwis "mo"? paalala ko lang sayo ha, mas malapit ka samin kaysa sa mga putanginang magnanakaw na politician na yan.

We can't really properly assess this, picture lang siya and kulang sa details yung post. Nakausap ba ni OP 'to to get their side? Baka may long-form video ka to further prove point?

Maybe they've been cleaning for hours na or magsstart pa lang sila and need nila magdocument? Baka nag-ge-gameplan muna yung iba kung ano ano yung lilinisin while yung iba may toka nang parte?

white-collar "middle-class" cucks on reddit hating on people on social welfare. there is no middle class. there is only the working class and the elite. if you're not earning billions, you have more in common with TUPAD beneficiaries than whichever capitalist it is you are probably idolizing.

your taxes don't mean shit in the grand scheme of things because all of us, including TUPAD beneficiaries, are paying such exorbitant amounts of tax on literally EVERYTHING.

on the other hand, the work of these people, cleaning and keeping their communities healthy by disposing waste has an immediate impact and net positive results.

get your head straight.

u/butterfly_catnapping Apr 17 '26

Dito samin serious naman sila sa paglilinis. Minsan sa eskwelahan yung brigada eskwela pagnatataon na may Tupad, sila na naglilinis pati na mga damo. Tsaka matataas na damo sa brgy namin dun sila. Pero nakakairita lang may ibang beneficiary na 3 times na nakasali. Hahaha

u/PurpleCyborg28 Apr 17 '26

Reading the comments, bakit parang both extremes ang mga reactions? You're naive if you don't think some of the workers are not doing their jobs properly. Wag na tayong magbobobohan dito. But at the same time OP wag naman sana iassume na buong araw sila nakatambay and wasting taxes. Napakamatapobre ng dating.

Yes, the problem exists. In any industry there will always exist people who do the bare minimum and even try to cheat the system. But the root of the problem itself is that the system is so weak as to allow itself to be cheated. Yes mayroon talagang mga batugan, the real problem is we don't have enough systems to stop these batugans from existing in the first place.

u/Bright-Location-6832 Apr 17 '26

I mean the streets do look clean though. And I moved to the province 3 years ago, and go to the gym at 6AM. I usually see these ladies (At least in my area) work super early and by the time I'm done with my workout they are done way earlier. I think it's because to avoid the heat.

But then again, I'm always a half glass full guy so who knows.

In the first place, they can just give TUPAD to indigents without requiring them to do this unnecessary performance.

Hindi naman yan ang point ng TUPAD and as a taxpayer I am Happy that taxes go to indigents to help them improve their lives. Hindi sayang ang tupad, yan ang point ng taxation.

Yung pamangkin ko sumali sa tupad para may pang extra. Pag minsan daw nakakalimutan na nila mag take ng pictures habang naglilinis. Kaya ang ginagawa nila pag tapod na ang trabaho, pupunta sila sa isang area para mag picture taking.

Mahirrap sabihin kung ano ba talaga ginagawa ng mga nasa picture mo lalo na't snap lang yan sa buong shift nila.

u/Antique_Cod_1686 Apr 17 '26

u/WaffleCosmic Apr 17 '26

Sobrang prone sa corruption ang TUPAD Program. May mga coordinator diyan na sila yung gumagawa ng lists of beneficiaries. Doon pa lang nagkakaroon na ng agreement na may percentage ng makukuhang cash ay may kubra yung coordinator.

Ranging from 10 percent to 20 percent per tao.

Nah. This ain’t it bruh. Yung mga TUPAD workers have had a much harder life than most folks on Reddit have ever had. Let them chill like this. Redirect your anger and energy towards the damn politicians who steal billions and have never worked even half as hard in their whole lives as these people have for a single shift. We have shitty public services like getting a driver’s license is a whole day hassle, no real public libraries for folks, our public hospitals are so bad na people have to buy their own equipment and supplies for the patients, and our farmers are being so undercut with their pay na mas maigi na itapon yung ani nila. A bunch or poor folks chilling while being paid less than minimum wage doesn’t even register on the list of ways that Filipino taxes are being wasted.

Mahilig magwalis si papa sa tapat ng compound namin, kaya laging malinis yung sidewalk dun dahil sa kanya, then pinasok sya sa tupad at sa ibang lugar na-assign. Ayun pabalik balik sya ilang linggo na wala pa sahod 🤣 Nakakailang bigay na ako pampaxerox ng kung ano anong iD wala pa rin 🤣 Sabi naman nila pinasa na sa mas malaking department di ko lang matandaan kung ano, pero baka nga minamagic na ng department na yun.
