According to DOLE Secretary Silvestre Bello III, the DOLE will begin to distribute bikes on July 1 along with a bag and a cellphone containing ₱5-K worth of load for vaccinated employees. 1-K essential workers from Metro Manila and 1-K workers from different regions are expected to receive the benefits of the program.
