Our story

Built alongside workers, one case at a time

Tulong grew from a simple conviction: that the protections written into the Labor Code mean little if working people can't reach them. Here is how the initiative has taken shape.

  1. 2017

    Tulong is founded

    Established in partnership with the ProLabor Legal Assistance Center (PLACE) to bring legal aid within reach of ordinary workers.

  2. Since

    Standing with workers

    Over the years we have supported both local and migrant Filipino workers through disputes most could never afford to fight alone.

  3. 2025

    Formally registered

    Incorporated with the Securities and Exchange Commission, deepening our commitment to accessible labor justice.

  4. Today

    A worker-first mission

    We continue to educate, advise, and represent — because knowing your rights should never depend on what you can pay.
