DOLE MIMAROPA and the Palawan Group of Companies: A Partnership to Empower Unbanked Beneficiaries in the Region

"With Palawan Pawnshop and Palawan Express Pera Padala as our trusted partner in processing payments to beneficiaries of Tulong Panghanapbuhay sa Ating Disadvantaged Workers (TUPAD), Special Program for Employment of Students (SPES), and Government Internship Program (GIP), we experience seamless and hassle-free transactions, ensuring that funds reach their intended recipients promptly. Huge thanks to Palawan Pawnshop and Palawan Express Pera Padala for being our partner in providing meaningful assistance to our clients." ~Rosemarie Hupanda, the chief of the Internal Management and Services Division of the DOLE MIMAROPA Region, sees the partnership as an efficient way of keeping their beneficiaries’ funds safe and secure

The historic partnership ensures that beneficiaries of the Department of Labor and Employment's various programs receive funds in a timely, secure, and hassle-free manner.

As part of its commitment to providing digital financial services to all sectors, particularly the marginalized and vulnerable, the Palawan Group of Companies has collaborated with the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) MIMAROPA Region.

Palawan's collaboration with DOLE MIMAROPA has significantly improved and streamlined the department's disbursement processes for distributing stipends and salaries to the many beneficiaries of its various programs, including Tulong Panghanapbuhay sa Ating Disadvantaged Workers (TUPAD), the Special Program for Employment of Students (SPES), and the Government Internship Program.

Since 2019, this collaboration has benefited more than 37,000 DOLE recipients, including marginalized workers, financially disadvantaged but deserving students, out-of-school youth, and other underserved communities. Beneficiaries can now visit Palawan Pawnshop and Palawan Express Pera Padala branches in MIMAROPA or anywhere in the Philippines to cash out their disbursements using Palawan's e-wallet app, PalawanPay. This eliminates the need for lengthy waits to claim their funds.

"I extend my sincerest appreciation to Palawan Pawnshop and Palawan Express Pera Padala for being our partner as a remittance service provider in facilitating financial transactions for various programs under DOLE. Your support has been invaluable in the successful implementation of our programs aimed at uplifting disadvantaged workers and empowering the youth through employment opportunities.” She added, "Palawan Pawnshop and Palawan Express Pera Padala’s reliable services have been instrumental in ensuring smooth and speedy disbursement of funds for our programs. Tunay ngang ang inyong serbisyo ay “mura, mabilis, at walang kuskos balungos. May our partnership continue to flourish in the coming years to benefit workers in the MIMAROPA region.” ~Naomi Lyn C. Abellana, the regional director of the DOLE MIMAROPA Region, is optimistic that their beneficiaries, some of whom had never had proper access to a regular bank's financial services, will enjoy Palawan's efficient and dependable  “mura, mabilis, at walang kuskos balungos” brand of service
