Mga higala! The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) will be giving free bicycles to fully vaccinated workers all over the Philippines!
This is applicable for economic front-liners or those under the country’s A4 priority group.
According to Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III, this is part of their BakSikleta project (formerly FreeBis) which aims to encourage workers to have themselves vaccinated against COVID-19 and give them the chance to start a business that will help them recover from the effects of the pandemic.
Chosen BakSikleta beneficiaries will be able to receive bicycle units with:
- helmet
- raincoat
- water bottle
- thermal bag
- Android mobile phone with P5,000 load
