Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles announced that DOLE field offices will continue processing applications for the COVID-19 Adjustment Measures Program (CAMP) even during the Holy Week.
Proof of salary payment will be accepted instead of strictly requiring company payrolls to hasten the release of the one-time cash aid.
