BAGUIO CITY – City Councilor Vladimir D. Cayabas, Committee on Education, Culture, Creativity and Historical Research has led the turnover of assistance grants to the beneficiaries after the Department of Labor and Employment grants the request for funding to assist those with existing registered associations in various barangays. The five grantees were the Share Weavers Association of Irisan Barangay (P249,155.00), The Conqueror’s Weaver’s Association of Middle Qurino Hill Barangay (P321,500.00), KALIPI WOMEN’S ORGANIZATION of Cabinet Hill – Teacher’s Camp (312,230.00), IIBBA San Luis Chapter of Asin Road (P322,716.00), and the Wood, Rock and Flowers Inc. of Camp 7 Barangay (P318, 280.00)
In an interview with councilor Cayabas, “Ito ay turnover ng funding sa mga nag-apply at naging qualified na mga livelihood groups sa ating siyudad ng Baguio, they’re coming from different barangays at ito ay tulong pa rin ng ating local at national government especially sa tinatawag natin na economic recovery initiative, ito ay puhunan ng mga livelihood groups and sila ay qualified because of submitting all the requirements, at partner rin natin ang Department of Labor and Employment na siyang implementing department and of course the different Barangay officials who supported also the application ng mga livelihood groups na maging grantees natin.
As of this time ay Lima sila although may pending pa na ibang mga kasama na mga groups may mga hindi pa nakapag submit ng kanilang requirements pero ito ay nakahanda na rin at malapit na ang releasing ng kanilang pondo.
Nagpapasalamat ako sa DOLE national dahil napagbigyan tayo sa ating kahilingan sa pamamagitan ng ating opisina ay nakakuha tayo ng mga fundings na gusto natin iparating sa ating mga kababayan sa siyudad ng Baguio.
Ang total nito ay P2 milyon, meron rin tayo nai-share sa Abra and then anim dito sa Baguio and hopefully may mga darating pa tayo na mga funding para matulungan pa natin ang mga kababayan sa kanilang livelihood. Ito ay bunga ng ating partnership sa DOLE national headed by Secretary Silvestre Bello III at malaking tulong rin ang Regional office headed by Director Nathaniel Lacambra and DOLE-Baguio Head Dr. Emerito Narag,” Cayabas added.
