Workers in the live events industry in the country are entitled to a financial assistance once the Bayanihan to Recover as One Bill or “Bayanihan 2” is passed into law, a group of Filipino live events industry workers said.
“The Bayanihan 2 fund already has provisions for freelancers and a lot of the workers in the live events industry are freelancers so at least they will be able to get some assistance from the Bayanihan 2 package. There’s some assistance that is available also to small and medium scale industries also in the law,” Marasigan told CNN Philippines’ Rico Hizon on Friday.
